Liberty Swing
The playground at Clemyjontri Park is designed so children with and without disabilities can play side-by-side. It has brought smiles, healthy exercise and new self-confidence to thousands of children who are unable to enjoy conventional playgrounds.
But Clemyjontri lacks an important play feature - a swing that is accessible to children who use wheelchairs and are unable to transfer to a standard swing. A one-of-a-kind solution is now available, the Liberty Swing, an Australian invention.
The Liberty Swing functions much like an ordinary swing, but numerous engineering features are incorporated to accommodate a wheelchair. You can learn more and see an action video at www.libertyswing.com.au.
More than 170 Liberty Swings are in use in Australia and New Zealand, but there is only a handful in the U.S.. The closest are in Long Island and Knoxville.
We need your help to enable children who use wheelchairs to experience the fun and freedom of swinging through the air. All gifts are welcome, and donations of $1,000 or more will be recognized on a permanent plaque.
Give every child the opportunity to fly!
