17-year-old Kathryn Drenth finds it much easier to play on the swings at this park designed for children of all abilities.
"When you have typical kids, you can just go to a playground," said Mariah Drenth-Cormick. "When you are a parent of a child or two with special needs, there's a lot more at stake. There's a lot more that you need to prepare. And a lot of times, families with kids with special needs just don't do it."
Lions Pride Park occupies the space of what used to be Twin Oaks Day Camp. The concept was brainstormed by the Warrington Lions Club, originally founded in 1941. The park implemented special design elements that catered to individuals with both visible and invisible challenges. For example, slides are accompanied by wheelchair transfer stations. Also, specific swings are accessible to individuals in wheelchairs and are helpful for others with different body types.
