INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND AT CAVE HOLLOW

What started as a dream has become a reality, thanks to a lot of hard work, effort, and dedication.

The Inclusive Playground at Cave Hollow Park, a joint project between Warrensburg Parks and Recreation (WPR), the City of Warrensburg and Johnson County Board of Services (JCBS), began in 2016 as an idea to create a family-friendly, all-inclusive recreation space where everyone, of all ages and abilities, can play to the greatest extent possible. Funding was provided by WPR, the City of Warrensburg, JCBS, fundraising projects, and grants from the Department of Natural Resources and the Missouri Parks & Recreation Association, in partnership with Gametime and Playcore.

WPR is proud to join our partners in providing equal access to everyone as we connect and engage children, families, and communities Visit www.spirittrail.org for more information!
