In this podcast with the president of Hadley's Haven, Lenore Ashby, we walk through the journey of what it takes to build an inclusive playground in your community. From advocating for true accessibility over just meeting ADA compliance to setting up a 501c3 and navigating grants with a local township and fundraising, Lenore shares the importance of this work and the struggles she faced along the way. She harnessed the strength inside her to create a space where all children can play together to honor her late daughter's legacy. Lenore persisted when the process was overwhelming, but now children from all over the country come to play at Hadley's Haven - where play can happen without limits!
