The Facts of the Matter
People with disabilities represent the nation’s largest minority group, encompassing individuals from all walks of life. Unlike other minority groups, this is the only group that anyone can join at any time, whether due to an accident, illness, or the natural aging process. This reality underscores the importance of creating inclusive spaces that accommodate everyone, regardless of ability. At MikesPlayground, we recognize that accessibility isn’t just a benefit for some—it’s a necessity for all. By advocating for and building inclusive playgrounds, we are not only supporting current members of this diverse community but also ensuring that our parks are prepared to welcome everyone, now and in the future.
