View Finder: Celebrating the Development of New Handicapped Accessible Park

The site, which will be in Eisenhower Park, is still under construction.

Community members from all over Nassau County gathered at the in East Meadow to celebrate the development of Nassau County’s first handicapped accessible park and playground.

Due to Hurricane Irene, the playground itself is still under construction, but this evening supported "Let All The Children Play" and future inclusive programming at the site.

"This is all about physically challenged kids who need a special swing just to participate, a special slide to slide on,” said Nassau Legislator Judy Jacobs, D-Woodbury, who was present at the event. “Now we finally have a playground that can meet the needs of these children.”
