Part 5/8:
- Emotionally inviting: Incorporating art, thoughtful design, and music to elevate the emotional well-being of visitors. For example, sea turtles are used as a motif to symbolize overcoming land-based mobility challenges, highlighting that in water, everyone is capable of soaring, inspiring feelings of empowerment.
Beyond Accessibility: A Movement for Universal Play
What started as a project for Harper's needs has blossomed into a broader movement. By designing playgrounds that cater to everyone, Cody aims to redefine outdoor spaces as inclusive environments. The success and impact of Harper’s Playground have inspired others, with parents in Iowa constructing their own versions of inclusive parks and Cody leading workshops to share these ideas widely.
