Sensory Garden Playground

Sensory Garden Playground Children use play as a tool to learn about the world. Some play environments exclude children with disabilities. Let's create a play area for all kids!

As a cooperative effort of Wheaton Park District, Kiwanis Club of Wheaton, Western DuPage Special Recreation Association, and Forest Preserve District DuPage County, a new garden/playground is being developed at Danada South Park. 15% of our children have some form of disability or learning challenge. Some may be physical limitations that are plain to see, while others are less apparent such as le

✨💙🔥 Wheaton Ignite is officially underway! 🔥🧡✨

Our CheerAbilities team, Wheaton Ignite, had their very first practice tonight, and our hearts are already so full! 💙 The smiles, excitement, determination, and team spirit were absolutely contagious.

We are beyond excited to watch this incredible group grow, gain confidence, and shine on the mat later this season. This is going to be such a special journey, and we can't wait to cheer them on every step of the way! 💫
