Woodridge Park Inclusive Playground
Donation protected
The community of Cottage Grove, led by the Inclusive Playground Task Force, is attempting to build what is believed to the be the largest and most inclusive playground in the state of Minnesota at Woodridge Park in Cottage Grove. When complete, it will be a gathering place where generations of memories are made through the simple act of PLAY.
The playground will include ramps to the tallest part of the play structure for those with mobility devices, safety swings for the youngest or weakest of individuals and a zipline that will challenge the most athletic of kids and adults. No matter your physical, mental or social status, the inclusive playground will bring the community and visitors together to feel the joy of PLAY at Woodridge Park.
The total cost for the project including six zones of playground equipment, three sensory gardens, ten swings, three accessible cruisers, sand and water play area, music play area, and 23, 000 sq ft of accessible surface will cost about $800,000. The City of Cottage Grove contributed the first $350,000 towards the project. The task force is asking for donations and submitting grants for the balance.
Please contact us if you have fundraising ideas, would like more information, or for the task force to make a presentation to your organization/business.
