The Make-A-Wish Foundation, Rotary,

funding partners for this all-inclusive City of
Aurora park that features swings, spinners,
instruments, playground equipment, and
ADA bathrooms. Designed by Urban Play
Studio, the park has many elements for all
kids to love and interact with each other.
Multiple textures, colors, impressions, and
glass beads are featured on the sensory wall,
and the wavy walkway's design is unique for
children in wheelchairs as it allows them to
feel ups and downs similar to those of a roller
coaster. Bocce courts, horseshoe pits, a water
sprayground, a reservable shelter, and access
to Piney Creek Trail are among the additional
amenities at the 35-acre park. auroragov.org
