Transforming Wetlands into Playgrounds
What was once an empty wetland has been transformed into the area’s first all-inclusive playground. In 2013, a dedicated group of residents and business leaders came together to form The Walnut Grove – Field of Opportunity nonprofit organization. Their mission was to create a welcoming space where individuals of all ages and abilities could come together in fun and friendship. After years of hard work and fundraising, the Hine Memorial Fund Playground was installed in Spring 2018, marking the first of many accessible attractions designed to serve children and families in this Field of Opportunity.
