Since then, the Kiwanians and the City of Santa Ana have been <br />successful in obtaining donations and grant funding to develop the play <br />ground area, picnic area, amphitheater/fire ring area and overnight <br />camping area. <br />In December 2005, the Kiwanians launched a campaign to raise funds for <br />Phase IIIA of the wheelchair basketball court at Kiwanis Barrier-Free Park <br />in Thornton Park. The improvements include a concrete basketball court <br />with adjustable goals and wheelchair access. The Kiwanians were <br />successful in raising $95,500 through various donations, pledges, County <br />grant funding, City of Santa Ana employee charitable contributions, and <br />in-kind donations. The agreement with the Kiwanians stipulates <br />reimbursement schedules and will enable the City to initiate design work. <br />An additional $100,000 in State Bond funding has become available for this <br />project . ~~~_~ <br />
