Description
Variety KC’s Ten Parks Project, administered through the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, is a competitive grant initiative aimed at creating a region-wide network of destination-level inclusive playgrounds. These playgrounds are designed using Universal Design principles and informed by the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities and their families. The goal is to ensure that no family in Greater Kansas City is more than ten miles from a fully inclusive and accessible play space, reaching urban, suburban, and rural communities alike.
