GRACE’S PLACE The Playground at the Mental Health

Systems’ Hacienda Campus

Project Statement:Grace’s Place is designed to be a place where every child, no matter size, age, heritage, or ethnicity, knows that they belong. Every child deserves at least one place where they know that they are a part of something special. Grace’s Place is located on Mental Health System’s Hacienda Campus in Fresno, CA. It provides building blocks to help a child grow emotionally, physically and in their relationships with others.

A blank canvas…
