After 3-year-old Mitchell Chang drowned at his swim school in 2018, his parents formed The Mitchell Chang Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit in order to continue his fun-loving nature and good story. Their goal? To bring the love and happiness Mitchell brought to them to all families in San Antonio, Texas, by building the first free public inclusive playground for the parks system.
That’s just what they did.
The recently opened Mitchell’s Landing in San Antonio is full of fun options for kids of all abilities. The playground features fun graphics, as well as a colorful poured-in-place rubber safety surface to provide ease of mobility for any device.
Multiple transfer platforms as well as freestanding inclusive elements such as an inclusive see-saw make it so children of all abilities can play together. The playground is recognized as a National Demonstration Site for Inclusive Play and Youth Physical Activity.
