New Playground Ribbon Cutting Enjoyed by Many

A view of the new inclusive playground at Candy Cane Park in New Glarus, Wisconsin, which was made possible by the efforts of so many people in the community.

Last Thursday, over 60 community members gathered at Candy Cane Park to celebrate the ribbon cutting of New Glarus's new inclusive playground. The $250,000 project was made possible by contributions from the Village of New Glarus, a matching grant from an anonymous nonprofit, and donations from local businesses and supporters. The playground is designed to be accessible for children of all abilities, creating a welcoming space for everyone in the community.

The event featured a potluck dinner, with children eagerly exploring the new playground's accessible features and equipment. The project serves as a testament to the community's dedication to improving public spaces and ensuring all children can enjoy them. Now open, the playground will be a hub for families and a symbol of what can be achieved through collective effort.
