Boundless Playground coming to North Beverly, MA
For the last 13 months, a group of parents, teachers, specialists and community members have be raising funds to bring the first barrier free, Boundless playground to the North Shore. It will be sited at 48 Putnam Street in North Beverly. The Rising Stars Playground, as it will be called, will have so much to do and no barriers for children, parents or grandparents who have disabilities. No one will have to leave behind support equipment like wheelchairs or walkers. Children with sensory disabilities (like visual or hearing impairments) or developmental disabilities (such as autism or Down syndrome) will have lots to explore, too. What's more, the very play activities included for children with disabilities are often the most popular with children who have the ability to play anywhere.
