Joy Playground, located near Colony Park Community Center in Atascadero, opens April 5 at 4 p.m.
The project began in 2013 when special needs moms Sarah Sullivan and Jenelle Allen took the idea to Atascadero City Council and were met by enthusiastic support.
Despite setbacks, the group will keep its promise to open the playground within a year of breaking ground, which happened May 2018.
The playground will be fenced in so those prone to elopement are safe, and will feature ramps to allow wheelchairs to access the equipment.
Parents For Joy will host an Atascadero-wide yard sale on Saturday, April 13 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
They are still raising money to cover a bridge loan they received in order to open the park. Go to gofundme.com/parentsforjoyatascadero for more information.
