SPECIAL NEEDS ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUND

In 2006 the civic clubs of Hartselle – Civitan, Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary – in an unprecedented move united to plan and develop a playground for children with physical disabilities in Morgan County. The playgroun d, named The John Mark Stallings Special Needs Accessible Playground of Morgan County, is designed to accommodate the now-estimated 2,500 children with special needs and other children in the county. The overall objective of the project was to develop the premier special-needs playground in Alabama. Parallel goals were to provide recreational facilities and interaction opportunities for children with special needs in Morgan County and the surrounding region; and to stimulate other communities across the nation to similarly recognize and accommodate such needs. Soon after the clubs united, the City of Hartselle, Hartselle Area Chamber of Commerce, Morgan County Volunteer Firemen Association, United Way of Morgan County, Volunteer Center of Morgan County and Walmart of Hartselle joined in support. The four civic clubs and these entities are recognized as SNAP Founding Partners. Compelling support emerged for this compassionate, needed and worthy project. The list of endorsements includes: - proclamations from the Morgan County Commission, cities of Decatur and Hartselle and towns of Eva, Falkville,
