Huge shout out to the Rotary Club of Mountain View for donating new swings!!

Also want to say thank you to the Parks department for painting the frame and getting them installed!

Go and visit Wayside Park in Mountain View the next warm day! The Rotary Club of Mountain View donated funds for the park to install a new swing set with fully inclusive swings so all children can enjoy the park play equipment!

Hey everyone! 😊
We saw the City’s announcement about being awarded funding to work on the park — and that’s exciting news for Mountain View! Any investment into a place for our kids and families is something to celebrate. 🌳🎉

As most of you know, our group has been working toward adding all-inclusive play equipment so that kids of all abilities can enjoy the park together. We’ve been fundraising, hosting events, and talking with families about what our community needs.

We do want to clarify that our 501(c)(3) organization is separate from the City. At this time, we haven’t received details yet about the City’s plans or how (or if) our all-inclusive project will be included. We’re hoping to learn more and are open to working together if the opportunity is there.

The future of the Wayside Park Committee will be determined once we have more information and understand what direction the City plans to go.

We’ll keep everyone updated as soon as we know more.

And seriously — thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, or supported us in any way. You all are the reason this vision exists. 💛

We’re still here, still working, and still hopeful for what this can become.

More to come soon! ✨

Update: A huge THANK YOU to Mercy St. Francis for graciously sponsoring Champions Club! 👏
Because of their generosity, the $10 cost is now covered for ALL participants and volunteers. That means every child and buddy can join us for baseball, friendship, and fun — at no cost! ⚾💙💛
We are so grateful for their support in helping us build an inclusive program where every buddy is a champion!
Thank you again, Mercy St. Francis, for making this possible!

Original Post:
We’re excited to launch Champions Club, an inclusive baseball program where high school buddies team up with K–5 students who receive special education services. Together, we’ll play baseball, build friendships, and make memories on and off the field.

Practice: Oct. 4
Games: Oct. 11, 18, & 25 (3 innings or 1.5 hours each)
Cost: $10 per player or volunteer (includes team shirt)

All players will join either the Blue Champions 💙 or the Yellow Champions 💛 — because here, every buddy’s a champion on the field!

Check out the flyer for full details, and sign up today at: bit.ly/3JOPStq

We can’t wait to see our community come together for this amazing program!

🌟 Exciting Update from the Wayside Park Inclusive Playground Project! 🌟

We’re making BIG strides toward bringing an inclusive playground to our community — and it’s all thanks to YOU! 🙌

💰 Together, we’ve already raised nearly $30,000 toward this dream! Every donation, big or small, has brought us closer to creating a space where ALL children can play, laugh, and belong.

🏛️ Behind the scenes, we’ve been busy:
✔️ Meeting with the City to keep the project moving forward
✔️ Talking with equipment suppliers to find the BEST inclusive options
✔️ Applying for grants to help us reach our goal even faster
✔️ Planning next steps so we can start bringing in the equipment! 🎉

This is truly a community effort, and your support has been incredible. 💖 We’re not done yet — but with your continued help, Wayside Park will soon be a place where every child has the chance to play side by side.

👉 Stay tuned for more updates, ways to get involved, and fun fundraising events coming your way!
