[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe Hadley's park (Rockville) was also dreamed up by a parent and Hadley is the child. It's a great and inclusive space- not as large as the one in the video, but certainly nice enough.[/quote] Yep! Hadley Kramm-- we grew up in the same neighborhood. Her mom Shelley led the charge to get that park built for Hadley; she has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. It was the first of its kind in MD and one of the first handful in the US, I think. The first kids to play on it are well into their 30s now, so it may not be the most up to date, but I love that it's still around and kids still get to enjoy it. Her dad Kenny also invented a flavor additive for prescription drugs for special needs kids that's now very widely available. I think of her parents whenever I see someone use that Sarah Ruhl quote, "he loved her to the point of invention." [/quote]
