Help Galena Elementary Build an Inclusive Playground

Together, we can create a space where every child can play, belong, and thrive.

Play should be for everyone–but inclusion requires investment.

Right now, not every student at Galena Elementary can safely enjoy the playground. For children with mobility sensory, or development differences, our current space limits their ability to play, connect, and be included.

Our Vision

We’re building a new, fully inclusive playground designed with accessible equipment, safe surfacing, and sensory-friendly features that welcome every child.

This isn’t just a playground. It’s a place where empathy grows, friendships form, and all children are free to be themselves.

The Goal

To bring this vision to life, we’re raising $150,000 to qualify for a matching grant—which could double our impact.

Your support today helps us fund:

  • Inclusive playground equipment

  • Accessible surfacing

  • Installation, site prep, and more

Reaching this goal means we could break ground on the new playground soon—ensuring every child has a place to play together.

But to reach $150K–and secure the matching grant–we need your help.

Let’s Take the Next Step Together

This playground is about more than swings and slides.


It’s about giving every child the chance to play, grow, and feel like they belong.


With your help, we can make this vision a reality—and we’re so close.
