Playground on Irvington Street at a cost of $ 4 million. It will be a special equipment with a sensory stimulation for children with autism.
City officials want to install the equipment in Prescott Playground. It stimulates touch, sight and hearing. The new swings will be able to use, but the area is developed mainly for children with autism. On such a platform they can develop a sense of balance, coordination and socialize with other children.
Park nearby — Ida Court, the first to get this. But everything you need and a full set of equipment will be placed in Prescott Playground. The project is sponsored from Oddo (3.9 million dollars) and $ 100,000 from Council member Joe Borelli.
Initially the authorities wanted to build a similar Playground in Ida Court, but later due to some difficulties it was moved to Prescott, as it’s quiet, which more suitable for children with autism.
As reported by Dnainfo, the opening date is still unknown, but promised that parents and community members, people with special needs will tour in September when there will bring the equipment.
