Join us in making a difference for our community by supporting our playground fundraiser! We’re raising funds to build a safe, fun, and inclusive playground where children of all ages and abilities can play, learn, and grow. This playground has been carefully pieced together to include items for everyone, ensuring that every child can enjoy and benefit from the space. Your generous contributions will help us create a vibrant area that fosters creativity, physical activity, and social interaction. Together, we can bring joy and smiles to the faces of our children. Every donation counts, so let’s come together and make this dream a reality!


Meet Dale the Monkey 🐵! He’s found his very first playground treasure — a shiny slide — and he couldn’t be happier. Thanks to the first $100,000 raised, Dale has a place to play. But the grassy field around him feels a little too quiet… Dale dreams of sharing this space with friends of all shapes, sizes, and abilities.

Dale can already picture it: swings, climbing walls, seesaws, and new friends to enjoy them all. Each $100,000 milestone brings a new friend and a new piece of playground magic. Right now, Dale’s slide shines bright — but the rest of the playground is waiting to come alive. With your help, we can light up every piece, one by one, until Dale is surrounded by laughter and play.

With $200,000 raised, Dale is no longer alone. A cozy bench now sits nearby, and on it rests a new friend, Whitney. Whitney loves being part of the fun, listening to laughter, watching friends play, and feeling included, just from a little distance. Dale is thrilled to have someone to share the playground with, someone who reminds him that belonging looks different for everyone. Dale’s slide still shines, and now the bench invites moments of rest, connection, and quiet joy. With your continued support, this playground will grow into a place where every child can play, pause, and feel right at home.

Heroes Park has a new friend, and he couldn't have arrived at a better time. Thanks to $300,000 raised, Blake the Elephant has found his place in the growing playground family. Blake loves wandering through the grassy corners of the park, listening to laughter drift across the playground. While Dale races down the slide and Whitney enjoys her cozy bench, Blake appreciates something different. He loves knowing that every friend can play, explore, and discover new adventures within the safety of the park's fenced boundaries.

With $400,000 raised, Dale and his friends are ready to welcome Becky the Penguin! Becky loves being part of the fun and joining her friends on their adventures. Her wheelchair doesn't stop her from enjoying the playground, because Becky knows exactly where she wants to go and isn't afraid to get there.
Becky is happiest when she can play alongside everyone else, making memories, laughing with her friends, and choosing her own adventure. Her special place in Heroes Park is a reminder that everyone deserves the chance to play, explore, and feel like they belong.

At $500,000, there's another happy face joining the Heroes Park family: Tiffany the Hippo! Tiffany may move and play a little differently than some of her friends, but that doesn't make her any less ready for fun.
Tiffany loves finding her own way to enjoy the playground, whether she's spinning, laughing, or simply soaking up the excitement around her. She reminds us that every body belongs in a place made for play, and that there is no single right way to have fun.

With $600,000 raised, Dale and his friends have a new reason to celebrate. Meet Billy the Horse! Billy is strong, determined, and always ready for his next adventure. He knows that sometimes things may take a little more effort, but he's never been one to let a challenge decide what he can do.
Billy loves pushing himself, discovering what he's capable of, and showing his friends that limitations don't have to limit your dreams. His favorite adventure may just be waiting around the corner, and Billy is ready to go find it.

When the dream becomes reality, Dale won’t be alone in the grass anymore. He’ll be flying his “Thank You” banner high, celebrating every gift that helped build a playground where every child belongs. Your generosity doesn’t just build equipment — it builds friendships, joy, and a space where inclusion shines.
A place for where ALL heroes of all ages and abilities can learn, grow and play!
