Help us build Milwaukee’s first universally accessible & inclusive playground!
Inspired by Stella, a courageous nine-year-old girl with a caring heart and unwavering perserverence, this playground will make the community a more inclusive, accepting place for all. Because when the right environment is created, everyone has the opportunity to spread their wings and soar like a dragon!
Our goal is to raise $2 million dollars in time to break ground in summer 2026. To make this dream playground a reality, we will need a galaxy of community support. Because like Stella, we aim big and don’t get tired.

About the Playground










Meet Stella
Stella is nine years old. She loves dragons, swimming, riding her bike, and creating art of all kinds. Most of all, she loves playing with her friends and family (and her two dogs, of course).
In July of 2023, a cancerous tumor was found in her brain. Despite the unimaginable hardships of this diagnosis, Stella has continued to be her brave, thoughtful self throughout her treatment, showing levels of strength that leave the grown ups around her in awe.
The Playground
We’ve learned through Stella’s journey that unfortunately, most playgrounds do not cater to everyone’s abilities or needs. We were inspired by Stella to build the very first universally accessible, inclusive playground in the City of Milwaukee.
Our vision is for this playground to be known as a destination where everyone belongs. Because we believe that the best lessons—such as compassion, kindness, and acceptance—are learned on the playground.
