An all abilities playground is under construction this week at the Naples City Park and those involved and the many people who donated to the fundraising for ‘Westyn’s Vision’ couldn’t be more excited. Westyn Hacking is an energetic three-year-old who loves to get out and play with his siblings. He is also a twin that was born blind and has Cerebral Palsy and delayed development. As he was getting bigger, his mother Shaylee began to recognize just how much more limited his world is and will be than his siblings and she began to brainstorm what could be done to help all kids come together and play together. The idea for ‘Westyn’s Vision’ was born with the focus on raising funds for ADA accessible playground equipment. With great support from the community the funds were raised and construction got underway on Monday with the hope that it will be finished within a week. Plans for a ribbon cutting are underway for next week. Once fully installed there will be a wheelchair accessible merry go round and an accessible swing.
