Partners for Parks and Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation are excited to introduce a community event everyone will want to be a part of! A community project that will change the way we think of play and playgrounds!
The people of Mecklenburg County are creating an opportunity to develop, design, build and celebrate a playground for ALL of our children! A truly accessible and inclusive playground and play area that surpasses anything we currently have in the County system.
The playground will have a NASCAR theme and to make it a true NASCAR experience, Mr. Humpy Wheeler is our honorary chairman! The playground will be built in the September 29 - October 4, 2008. Learn how you can help.

About Our Concept
For many years, people in the community have talked about creating an inclusive play opportunity. We have hoped for a place where all children can play together and learn about differences, similarities, community and friendship.
We are going to design, develop and build a playground where all children, regardless of ability can play together. A place where the joy of being able to play is important.
The playground was designed by Leathers & Associates which specializes in community-built playgrounds.
