The barrier -free playground is a place where <br />children with special needs can play alongside their neurotypical peers, while not being held back <br />by the normal "barriers" that may exist in other playgrounds. Currently, children enjoying the <br />barrier -free playground must cross the larger Carl Thornton Park to reach a restroom. The lack of <br />accessible on -site restrooms in the barrier -free playground creates an additional challenge for <br />children to enjoy the area. The project scope includes adding a new restroom building to the <br />Kiwanis Barrier Free Playground and providing water, sewer, and electric services to the new <br />building. <br />
