From a father's determination to make a difference, Harper's Playground was born - a nonprofit that has revolutionized the world of inclusive playgrounds. Inclusion is important because every one of us has a gift to offer the community, and when we allow people to be marginalized and not included, we are missing out on the gift they could otherwise offer us as a community. G Cody QJ Goldberg is a passionate advocate for inclusive play spaces, with over 13 years of experience in designing and creating playgrounds that cater to every child's needs. As the co-founder of Harper's Playground, a nonprofit organization, Cody has been instrumental in bringing about change in the way playgrounds are designed and built.
Having a child with a disability himself, Cody understands the importance of play in children's well-being and development, and he is dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to play in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Get ready to be inspired by Cody's personal journey and his commitment to making the world a better place, one playground at a time. When Cody’s daughter Harper, who has a disability, struggled to navigate through wood chips at a local park, Cody and his wife knew they had to do something about it. Starting a nonprofit called Harper's Playground, they embarked on a 13-year journey to create playgrounds that are not only accessible to all, but also immersed in nature's beauty.
Their innovative design theory has now made a significant impact on children's well-being and development. Providing an unstructured, natural environment that caters to every ability level, these playgrounds encourage play and help children face fears, overcome challenges, and discover themselves.
