Wony Walia loves Pearland’s Parks and Recreation programs. As a 30-year-old with autism, he feels welcomed and included in so many programs beyond simple recreation.

“These opportunities have encouraged greater community integration and engagement, helping him develop skills that improve his overall quality of life,” Monika Walia said.

The planned inclusive playspace and splashpad at Independence Park would be a gamechanger for Wony and so many in our community who rely on adaptive recreation programs to enrich their lives.

“It would create a place where Wony could participate alongside his peers and community members,” Monika said, “not as someone on the outside looking in, but as someone who truly belongs.”

Your contribution could make this a reality for Wony and so many in our community who need it! To make your gift to the Independence Park Project, visit https://foreverparksfoundation.org/donate.

Playgrounds aren’t just for children. Jeannette Castillo knows that it’s important for families to play together. And sometimes those children with special needs grow into adults who still need that special playground that can accommodate them.

“It is clear that as our children grow, the 'space' they need to thrive must grow with them,” she said, “offering more than just basic equipment, but true opportunities for recreation at every stage of life.”

Jeannette’s son, Angel, loves playing in the Miracle League, and she knows he will need a playspace for his teenage years and beyond.

“It is time we stop thinking of playgrounds as only for children. Everyone needs movement to regulate, especially those who deal with intellectual disabilities or sensory processing differences.”
