Help Build An Inclusive Playground

Imagine a place where kids of all abilities can come together to play, make friends and play as equals. A Playland built to suit the needs of all children, with a focus on special needs. In late 2015 a mom to a child with special needs approached the Lake Geneva Board of Park Commissioners with a dream vision that the city would benefit from an inclusive Playland for children of all abilities. The Board of Park Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the project and donated 13,000 square feet of land at Veteran’s Park. The City of Lake Geneva also donated $15,000 towards the purchase of equipment and just like that, Never Say Never, Inc., was born.

Never Say Never Playland, will be a custom designed play space that will feature specially designed components such as; adaptive swings, an accessible merry-go-round, cochlear- friendly slides, ramps instead of stairs and most importantly, a poured-in-place rubber foundation. The Playland will feature a woodland theme that will give kids an imagination to play and know that anything is possible. We want all kids and young adults having fun no matter what their ability is. Never Say Never Playland, will be ADA accessible and will be the first of its kind in the Walworth County area. In the end, the community will build this unique structure, keeping costs lower and giving everyone a sense of pride as we come together to build the Playland for our kids, with a build date of spring 2019.

All funds raised will go towards the purchase of equipment and help build the playground.  

We hope this project touches your heart like it does ours and we invite you to come play and see the smiles across the faces of all children when they can delight in play together.  

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Dusti Ocampo,
Founder, Never Say Never., Inc
