Can Do Playground
Can Do Playground is a Boundless Playground, an integrated play area in which all children, those who are 100% enabled and those with disabilities, can play together, interactively. The objective is to design an area that is barrier free, socially inviting and contains play environment groupings. Learn more at www.boundlessplaygrounds.org.
 
It's open! Our coordinated effort resulted in a playground that enables all children to play together in a boundless environment here in Middletown.
Charles E. Price, Memorial Park - 955 Levels Rd, Middletown, DE 19709, come join us and play at the Can Do Playground!
