Sometimes, it takes a fresh perspective to notice what’s missing. That’s exactly what happened when Ollie Robertson, a member of the Ivins Youth Council, realized our city lacks an ADA-accessible swing set.
Now, the Youth Council is leading the charge to bring accessible playground equipment to Unity Park – so kids of all abilities can play together. We need to raise $38,500 to secure a matching grant. Every donation, big or small, helps show community support and makes this project possible.
This swing set will include a shade structure, a rubberized ground surface to ensure safe, year-round use, five swings for a variety of users – toddlers, children with mobility challenges, and even a generational swing for kids and caregivers to enjoy together.
Chris Reed from Fox 13 News TV interviewed Youth Council member Ollie Robertson about the project. See the interview below the donation pledge form.
This project is more than just a swing set—it’s an incredible leadership opportunity for our Youth Council. They came up with this idea, and now they’re taking real steps to make it happen. Your donation not only supports accessibility but also empowers young leaders, showing them that their efforts can create real change in the community.
Here is the Fox 13 News interview with Ollie.
Let’s make Unity Park a place where everyone can play. Thank you for your support!
