KIWANIS INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND
The Kiwanis Club of Lapeer is raising funds for its newest (and largest to date) Legacy Project, an all-inclusive and nature-inspired playground at Rowden Park in Lapeer. This playground will be a unique addition to the city park system, Lapeer and surrounding counties. Providing an inclusive playground of this caliber will enrich lives by ensuring that children and adults living with all abilities become more confident, build essential skills, meet new people, and learn tolerance at a very young age.
Kiwanis' MISSION is to improve the world one child and one community at a time. Kiwanis Club of Lapeer's VISION is to create a destination in Lapeer that is more than a playground, but a place that will fulfill an important need in the Lapeer and surrounding communities by providing a space where everyone can play and learn together.
Every person. Every generation. Every ability. A DESTINATION FOR ALL.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE
INCLUSIVE and ACCESSIBLE
An Accessible Playground allows children and adults with or without disabilities to access and use a variety of playground equipment. An Inclusive Playground addresses the needs of all children and adults, including those with intellectual abilities, hearing impairments and other disabilities.
