Hollstein Reservation

ART WALL TILE SPONSORSHIP

Be a part of history by sponsoring a piece of the inclusive playground’s art wall. The goal of the playground is to provide a place for children of all ages and abilities to experience the outdoors in different ways including structured play, natural play and water play. The play area is an inclusive place where children with disabilities can play alongside family members.

Tile sponsors can decorate and dedicate a ceramic tile for the art wall. The display doubles as seating near the water play area outside Mercy Health and Recreation Center. Sponsors can choose from a variety of tile sizes, decorate the tile during an art workshop, or simply dedicate the tile to a friend or loved one.

The inclusive playground is the newest of its kind in Northeast Ohio.

ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND

WATER PLAY

WATER PLAY AREA

What better way to cool off in the summer months than to play in a large water play area? Children of all ages and abilities will be able to use the area and enjoy the play features. The water area will have different settings to accomodate children with different developmental disabilities. Children in wheelchairs will be able to use ponchos to protect the wheelchair as they roll through one water feature after another. Water will also be shut off that sprays up for children in wheelchairs or using walkers. With a schedule of when to activate different settings, the water play area will be a fun place for children to enjoy.

ART WALL

As a special way to thank those who have made the outdoor project a reality through monetary donations, a wall of tiles has been constructed. Donors created their own tile and dedicated these tiles to be part of the art wall, which doubles as a seating area. The art wall will continue to grow over the years as we continue to expand along the wall.

A wheelchair swing is available for use by children in wheelchairs.

STRUCTURED PLAY

SWINGS

What play area would be complete without swings? The swingset is equipped for children in wheelchairs and other developmental disabilities.

SAND PIT

Children can let their imagination run wild in the sand box. The area will be covered, allowing children to play for hours without fear or sunburn.

FISHING POND

The playground has a stocked pond, where children can fish. An accessible dock makes it easy for children with wheelchairs to reach the water’s edge.

VILLAGE
