Hope Playground at Whiteside Park, a new and inclusive adaptive playground and adaptive gender-neutr
The new adaptive playground at Whiteside Park located at 4009 S. Pittsburg Ave. in Tulsa, is more than wheelchair ramps and accessibility. The playground is designed with all users in mind and engages children and adults with a wide range of abilities. Well-designed playgrounds support the health and development of the whole child and the whole community. ACS Playground Adventures designed this all-inclusive playground with the help of community member voices sharing lived experiences, Tulsa Parks Department, and the Burnstein Family Foundation. The playground also features Tulsa's fist adaptive bathroom at a City park!
The Sanford and Irene Burnstein Family Foundation’s vision of an adaptive and inclusive playground has been a true partnership with City of Tulsa leaders and key community members. Mrs. Irene Burnstein and her late husband, Sanford (Stan), established their family foundation to share their success with families across Tulsa and Oklahoma.
“Stan and I had a vision that children of all ages and abilities could gather together to play, explore, and learn from one another. My family celebrates this vision today with the announcement of the plans for a playground that will bring joy and fun to so many,” stated Mrs. Irene Burnstein.
