so today i am going to send a email to the head of the mayors committee .
this email will out line my rock star wish for the Cheyenne universal park .
but i just thought it might be fun to introduce it to the world first.
SO PHASE ONE

TINK'S HOUSE on the ACRE GARDEN
This will be one acre of land maintained and land scaped by the Special Needs Advocacy Agency. the agency will apply for funding to build the following structures a universal green house, a tool shed, a fairy fountain(sprinkler park), the puzzle wall, and the secret stair step garden. this garden will be designed to allow wheelchair access so any one can plant . the agency would donate the structure and gardens to the city but would like to lease or rent it to host the special needs gardening club a summer program designed to teach everyday skills like care for a living thing , maintaining records, responsibility to something other then themselves, and several other skills for indepent living and employment. i propose the entire one acre is maintained by special needs individuals through a volunteer program or employment programs . the first phase would also include all pathways to other areas of the park the path ways should be marked with street signs so that special needs children and unchallenged children can learn to be more independent in community and public forums.

PHASE TWO

phase two would be PIRATES COVE an adaptive play park. this park in my vision would have two halves the bow and the stern all shipwrecked with two other major features a crocodile clock tower , and a mermaid cove ( o rock structure with a climbing wall on one side and a secret WC entrance on the other.) all of this could be on blue gravel with plank like side walks connecting it .the bow and the stern would be double Decker structures with games like pirates hang man, a jail for tag or seek and find games, there could be a crows nest but the only way to get their is walk the stairs, there could be pulleys and hand bike pedals everywhere for endless therapeutic opportunity the possibilities are endless really all along the out side of the boat could be several methods of entrance stairs ramp pole netting ropes. the upper decks could have a wheel and a look out post
the crocodile clock tower could be used to count time for any number of games hide and seek and could also include look out post. the clock could be wind to 100 count down OR any number under
mermaids cove could have look out also with climbing rocks and wall. the WC secret entrance would lead to look out.
We could twice a month call a spy or covert operations day in PIRATES COVE and set up a day of quite spy like games for kids who get over stimulated or kids who wants to play with us quietly.
we could also Host a pirates day with all to proceeds going to put one or two pieces of universal equipment in every Cheyenne park.

PHASE THREE (my personal favorite)
the lost boys adaptive play tree house .
I imagine this to be a four to five level structure twenty feet off the ground at it highest point an engineering marvel that is entirely WC accessible the different levels incorporate different duties like a mess hall the bunks, the hatching a plan room, main hall, captains or Peter quarters, and so on these rooms would be designed to utilize multiple therapy opportunities like chalk boards in planning room, one whole wall with draws and pulls of compartments, games that can be changed with the seasons in the wall these games would be at multiple heights for versatility, once again the possibilities are endless.this is a place i want to have my kids bday i want him to be captain for the day,

the entire park would be both hand rail and WC friendly. so if your kiddo just needs a hand they have it or if the just need a wider space it is there. the whole park will be signed for both rules of safety end play and also the path marked. the idea of the park is to not shoot form the rooftops for special needs kids but to build a place for all children to run and play in a new adaptive way
