Free Playground in Carl Thornton Park.
DISCUSSION
The State of California Department of Parks and Recreation is accepting
grant applications for the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program
(LWCF). The LWCF Program was established through federal legislation in
1965 and has been instrumental in the development of parks throughout the
United States.
The Kiwanis Barrier-Free Playground was designed to provide the
opportunity for special needs children to play and camp in a park
setting. The proposed project will provide wheelchair bound individuals
the opportunity to play on an Americans with Disabilities Act compliant
basketball court. The LWCF Grant Fund requires a 50 percent match of non-
federal money. The Kiwanis Club of Santa Ana has committed to provide
the required match.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
