For Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting our entire community to join a $1 movement. If every supporter gives just one dollar and shares this message, we can create the momentum needed to build The Dahlia Playground—an inclusive, accessible space where all children belong.

Play should be for EVERYONE—and that’s exactly why we’re so excited about our Inclusive Carousel! This ground-level spinner is designed for kids of all abilities, with plenty of space for wheelchairs and friends to join the fun together. Its smooth, spinning motion creates not just laughter, but a sensory-rich experience that every child can enjoy. This is what building community through play looks like—no limits, no barriers, just pure joy.

One of the best perks of our neighborhood is the beautiful park at Riverview! Earlier this summer, the playground closed for renovations (the last renovations were 30+ years earlier!) and on Thursday, the new, accessible playground will officially open!

We will be offering 15% off children’s titles on Thursday in celebration - stop by and pick up a book to read in the park ahead of the 4pm grand opening celebration
