The Sandlot-A Universal Playground
In 2018, we celebrated the opening of a $1 million playground in Central Park. The Sandlot features equipment designed to increase social and play interaction among people of all ages and abilities. The playground is fully fenced and the features are accessible through double-wide ramping. From parents and grandparents that have limited mobility with typically-abled children, to families that have a child with special needs, this incredible park will provide a fun and interactive environment where everyone can experience the benefits of play together. The playground is located adjacent to the Tennis Center, 1300 Forest Gate Road.
An inclusive environment celebrates the realization that we are all a team, and we can all benefit from each other. -Lara Suleiman, Oak Brook
