Fulton announces Inclusive Park Project
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The City of Fulton announced in a Wednesday press release that it is partnering with Callaway County Special Services to create an Inclusive Park Project.
The release says the project will include accessible play structures, sensory-friendly elements and other features. Information on the city’s website says it will be built at Carver Park.
“Callaway County Special Services is proud to partner with the City of Fulton,” Executive Director Mike Lederle said in the release, “to expand inclusive play opportunities for all children and families. Our Inclusive Parks Initiative reinforces a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves to belong, to explore, and to play without barriers. By integrating accessible and sensory-inclusive features, we are creating spaces that meet a wide range of needs and invite every family to participate fully. Together, we are building a community that reflects our shared values of accessibility, inclusion, and dignity for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.”
Similar projects have occurred in Holts Summit and Columbia.
