Project Description A Morgan Hill Inclusive Playground Committee (a Morgan Hill Community Foundation Affiliate) are actively working on the planning and fundraising to build an inclusive playground for the Morgan Hill Community. Inclusive playgrounds provide play opportunities for all children, including those with disabilities. The location of the facility is planned for Community Park. Concept designs will be complete in May of 2016 and the group will begin formal fundraising at that time. The City previously funded the concept design for approximately $100,000 and committed an additional $300,000 to support construction. It is envisioned that the community will raise the additional $3.5 million to fund the playground. Project Justification The development of a universally accessible playground supports a number of the City Council's Priorities and Goals, including: Supporting Youth, Preserving and Cultivating Public Trust, and Stimulating Economic Development. This project will be volunteer and community driven in both funding and design of the facility.
