Raleigh County is a place that we all love. From the mountains and waterways to the wonderful people that live here, it is a place that so many are proud to call home. We have a proud history, and an incredibly bright future. One way that we can continue to invest in that future is by building a community that is safe and inclusive – regardless of ability. Every park in our community was built with able-bodied children in mind. Very little (if any) consideration was ever given to those children who may have a disability. That’s why we are building three all-inclusive playgrounds that will be located throughout the county. We believe that every child deserves the chance to play, regardless of ability level, and know that they matter. In addition, these playgrounds will connect children to the topic of energy and connect the past to the future.

This project is being led by a Raleigh County Parks and Recreation who are determined to make the future of our community better, and we need your help. It’s our dream to build the best playground in the region. Your financial support can make that happen, and no gift is too small or too big. This dream we have is only possible with your support. Join us, and let’s make this community a better place.

These playgrounds are designed for individuals of all abilities and disabilities. Bringing children together in one play space to learn and play together.

Each playground will contain an energy piece that uses the energy produced to play music and lights. In addition, there are several panels with features that also use their play energy to engage children in discovering their potential energy.

These three playgrounds are multi-functional. They will connect children to energy use around them. They will show kids their potential energy literally and figuratively. The playgrounds will feed their minds, bodies and souls.
