In 2022, the Miracle League of Western Massachusetts was awarded $350,000 for the development of a playground for children of all abilities in the open land adjacent to Kennedy Park's playground. This adaptive playground is the first of its kind in Holyoke. The ramped play structure exceeds ADA-compliance by providing wheelchair access to all elements of the playground, including four therapeutic swing seats, a whirl, and other ground-level sensory elements. This is a truly a unique resource for our city and our region.
