The Ripon Noon and Early Bird Kiwanis Clubs partnered with Fond du Lac County to raise funds for an All-Inclusive Playground at Riggs County Park; which opened in the summer of 2024.
The playground includes swings, climbers, slides and spinners; with many of the equipment designed to be used by children of all abilities. The poured, rubberized safety surface ensures the playground will have is ADA-accessible.
Research findings have consistently shown the incredible benefits of inclusive playgrounds. They foster social interaction, promote physical activity, and enhance cognitive development among children of all abilities. By supporting our campaign, you can help us make these advantages accessible to every child in our community.
The playground now sists adjacent to the Splash Pad, in the section of the County Park accesible from Douglas Street. The Splash Pad itself was a project of the Rippon Noon Kiwanis, in Partnership with Fond du Lac County.
