Why Marin?
There are 4,200 students in Marin receiving special education services. 1:7 students are eligible for accommodations. Marin County Office of Education services almost 500 students who have extensive support needs. The nearest all inclusive and accessible playground is in the South Bay. Additionally, with 30% of the Marin population (0ver 78,000 residents) being over 60 years old and facing possible challenges as they age, a fully inclusive multigenerational playground and programs would ensure access and belonging for all.
Magical Bridge Location – McInnis Park
Centrally located and selected by local parents, McInnis Park in San Rafael is a destination for the entire community but lacks a playground and shared social space. 450-acre McInnis Park currently offers many activities and ways to play. It includes a golf center, pickleball and tennis courts, skate park, Gallinas Creek, McInnis Pond and a walking trail along the creek. McInnis also houses the Club Restaurant.
However, McInnis lacks a fully inclusive and accessible space that can be used by people of all ages and abilities. The nearest inclusive playground is in the South Bay. A Magical Bridge Playground will offer an inspiring experience where kids can play, parents can relax, and grandparents can participate.
Magical Bridge supported by Marin Board of Supervisors and trusted local non‑profit organizations
The collaboration of Marin County Parks, Marin Aging and Disability Institute, the Board of Supervisors and local nonprofits demonstrates the power of community in creating positive change. Together, we are helping to build not just a playground, but a lasting legacy of inclusion that will benefit generations of children in Marin County. Please join us in this great effort by making a contribution or becoming a partner or sponsor!
