After years of dedication, perseverance, and community spirit, we are thrilled to announce the successful completion of The Sandlot Playground campaign! This universal playground, designed to be accessible for individuals of all abilities, is more than just a play space—it’s a place where barriers are broken, friendships are formed, and every child can experience the joy of play.
A Community United
This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the support of our generous community members, local businesses, and dedicated Foundation Board Members. Your commitment and belief in this project helped turn a vision into reality, creating an inclusive space that will benefit families for generations to come.
The Sandlot Playground was a monumental undertaking—one of the first campaigns of its kind for the Foundation. With a pledge to raise $25,000 annually as part of a planned partnership with the Park District, the journey required persistence and passion.
A Lasting Legacy
This playground is more than a play structure—it’s a symbol of inclusion, kindness, and the power of collective effort. It represents what can be achieved when people rally behind a meaningful cause.
To everyone who donated, volunteered, advocated, and supported this mission: Thank you. You have not only enhanced Central Park, but you have also created a space where all children can play side by side, forging friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Here’s to a future filled with laughter, adventure, and limitless possibilities at The Sandlot Playground!
