Description
The Variety KC Ten Parks Project is an initiative led by Variety KC, in partnership with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, to develop a region-wide network of inclusive playgrounds. The program aims to build ten destination-level, universally designed play spaces that are accessible to children and families of all abilities. Projects must be shaped by input from individuals with disabilities and their families, with the overarching goal that every family in Greater Kansas City will be within ten miles of a fully inclusive and accessible playground.
