The City of Cupertino is moving forward with the design and construction of an All-Inclusive Playground at Jollyman Park funded through Santa Clara County All-Inclusive Playground Grant (AIPG) program. In October 2018, City Council authorized staff to submit an application to the County’s AIPG grant program, requesting funds for an all-inclusive playground at Jollyman Park. The Board of Supervisors authorized a grant award to Cupertino for $1,448,201 with a City match contribution. The balance of the project cost would be provided through fundraising and donations. The City of Cupertino conducted a Feasibility Study on potential park sites and thoroughly evaluated each one. Results were presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission and concluded that Jollyman Park was the 1st choice. The Commission endorsed this finding.

Based on the feasibility study recommendations, the City proposes building a quality all-inclusive playground at Jollyman Park. It is an inviting space with a green lawn, a looped pathway system, and beautiful large trees imparting a serene quality. The playground will provide about 0.85 acre in core play area plus a landscaped buffer area at its edges. The new playground will be conveniently located along the Stelling Road frontage, immediately adjacent to the existing parking lot area.

The project aims to incorporate the best supportive play theories and practices to appeal to people of all ages and abilities. The design will support recreation and social interaction for people with autism, sensory challenges, cognitive, developmental, and physical disabilities, and those without special needs. The project leverages public grant funding with private donations to maximize the playground design to be reimagined and renovated to meet AIPG guidelines.

    I will vote for concept 1. It's more inclusive and has more kinds of activities that all groups of people can be involved.
