Help Make a Difference in a Child’s Life… All children want to play – with one another and with us – but when developmental differences or physical limitations create barriers to something as simple as a trip to the park, children begin to lose opportunities that reach far beyond the playground. The Sensory Garden Playground creates a barrier-free, universally designed outdoor play space for the children of DuPage County and beyond. As a cooperative effort of Wheaton Park District, Kiwanis Club of Wheaton, Western DuPage Special Recreation Association, and Forest Preserve District DuPage County, this playground and garden is located at Danada South Park and is currently in its second phase.
