The World's First Water Park For People With Disabilities
Morgan's Wonderland, San Antonio, TX
Gordon and Maggie Hartman of San Antonio, TX have opened a one-of-a-kind theme park in honor of their daughter, Morgan, who has physical and cognitive challenges. Gordon Hartman recognizes that "families with special-needs members have great demands on both their financial and emotional resources led to his commitment to admit anyone with a special need free of charge."
The theme park includes a water park, swing park, carousel, gymnasium, picnic areas, ferris wheel, music garden, express train, and more! The park is ultra-accessible, including recessed bases/swings/pods on rides for wheelchairs, braille signage, and rubberized surfaces with ramps throughout. Their mission is to "provide a safe, clean and beautiful environment free of physical and economic barriers that all individuals – regardless of age, special need or disability – can come to and enjoy."
