Play For All Playground & Garden Foundation

We create play for all in DuPage County. By developing and maintaining the Sensory Garden Playground, a universally accessible and barrier-free playground in Lisle, we provide opportunities for children of all abilities to play side-by-side with their peers.  The accessible tree house opened in 2021 and the Gravity Rail and Net Climber amenities opened in 2022.  We are currently fundraising for the 5 to 12-year-old playground area. 

The Play For All Playground & Garden Foundation's mission is to create barrier-free and universally accessible outdoor play spaces and gardens in DuPage County. Through the cognitive, social, and physical values of play, the Foundation will promote a spirit of inclusion and enhance quality of life, as well as support involvement in recreation and wellness activities for all people and abilities.
