Ashaun’s Wish for Red-tailed Hawk Park An inclusive playground for all children! WHY The inclusive playground for all is a wish from Ashaun, a 7-year-old Aurora resident who lives near Red-tailed Hawk Park. The Make-a-Wish Foundation contacted city of Aurora staff in the fall of 2017 explaining that this young man and his family would love to see a fully-accessible playground at the park because his favorite thing to do is to be with other kids who are laughing and playing. Through meetings with Ashaun and his family as well as other stakeholders, the concept for the playground has taken shape. OUR GOAL To create a unique inclusive playground where children of all abilities will have the opportunity to play and explore through sound, color, texture and movement. THE PROJECT The 8,000-square foot site will include a gathering space, a sensory garden, play equipment, musical instruments and other site features that invite sensory experiences. The vision is to encourage side- by-side play interaction for all kids. WHO WE ARE Make-a-Wish Foundation, Aurora Rotary Club, Arapahoe County Open Spaces, city of Aurora Art in Public Places Program and the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department. HOW CAN I HELP? The Aurora Rotary Club is seeking partners to help make Ashaun’s wish come true. Every contribution counts! Donations can be made through the Aurora Rotary Club by visiting AuroraRotary.com.
