Come celebrate with us! Families and all ages invited.
“I Love My Playground” Party
Disability Connection’s first playground was built at Bruce Ladner Memorial Park, Hwy 53, Just West of Hwy 49, Gulfport. The second accessible playground is at Little Children’s Park, 400 Washington Avenue, Ocean Springs. Amenities at both playgrounds include playground equipment, swings, and a restroom. Little Children’s Park has a pavilion.
Since building two accessible playgrounds, Disability Connection has hosted 11 Playground Parties at one of the Disability Connection Community Playgrounds, a place where everyone can play! People with developmental disabilities clean the playground equipment, rake leaves, and spread mulch. Then everyone enjoys a picnic and music. As many as 500 participate.
First, we clean-up our playground: rake, pick up leaves, spread mulch, and clean the playground equipment. Then we eat lunch, and of course, play!
The next “I Love My Playground” party has not been scheduled yet. Feel free to email us if you’re interested in attending, or sponsoring our next party!
