Survivor Playscape, located at the Genoa Township Park off Dorr Road. allows individuals of all abilities to learn, play, and explore together. This nature-inspired playscape features natural elements and textures such as logs, stumps, ropes, boulders, and plants. While playing at Senior Survivor Playground, children will develop physical, imagination, and problem-solving skills through self-directed play.
The ceremonial ribbon will be cut by the 2021 and 2022 Senior Survivors, who collectively raised more than $450,000 to help fund the playscape. All attendees will be invited to explore the new playscape after the ribbon cutting.
