outdoors?
EVERYONE!
Even people with mobility limitations and
special needs deserve to have fun
outdoors.

with special needs?

mobility device?
The City of Madison and the MS
Society for Disabilities need our help!
The City of Madison recognizes that its popular
Liberty Park play area is not doing enough to
meet the needs of its mobility limited and
special needs citizens, and they need our help!
Lets see what the current playground
offers…
What are the positive and negative qualities of the
current playground?
Is the current playground accessible to people with
mobility limitations and special needs?
