On Sept. 12 the City Council approved a partnership with the Magical Bridge Foundation to build an innovative and inclusive playground to open at Red Morton Park in late 2017 or early 2018.

The Magical Bridge Playground is a world-renowned concept developed first in Palo Alto and will soon debut in Redwood City. Designed to be socially inclusive for children and adults of varying physical and cognitive abilities, Magical Bridge Redwood City aims to go beyond typical playground designs, which often inadvertently overlook the growing autistic population, cognitively challenged, visually and hearing impaired, physically limited and the aging population.

The City of Redwood City has made a significant contribution to this project. Now the Magical Bridge Foundation needs help raising $1.2 million to make Magical Bridge Redwood City a reality. Your donation will give countless families a place to play together — some, for the very first time. No amount is too small and everyone is welcome to join the effort.

Donate online to purchase a tile for the community donor wall, sponsor a play zone, or make a donation in the amount of your choice.

Perfect for corporations and foundations, the Magical Bridge Foundation has exciting sponsorship opportunities available at various levels ranging from $150,000 — $450,000, including play zone sponsorship with your name prominently displayed in the playground showing your generous commitment to the community for generations to come. With early sponsorship of a play zone, you will have the unique opportunity to offer input on design and equipment selection. The play zones currently planned for Redwood City’s Red Morton development include: an innovation zone, music zone, tot zone, spin zone, kindness corner, slide mound, swing and sway zone, picnic and group area, playhouse and playstage. Please contact the Magical Bridge Foundation for zone selection assistance or to discuss donation opportunities.
