| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| The Boundless Playground Project will provide recreational opportunities for children with disabilities. This will be the City�s first playground structure that will offer physical activities for children with varying levels of ability. The project will increase recreational opportunities for disabled residents throughout the region. Deltona�s Boundless Playground will be the first in our City, the first in Volusia County and one of twelve in the State. Thus, it�s regional impact is apparent. All other playgrounds in Deltona have �limited� access at this time. Therefore, this play area will meet the needs of our population for the first time in our history. |
