Kade's Playground

Kade's Playground The City of Herculaneum, Unlimited Play, Inc. Josh and Annette Bauman did just that for their son Kade.
(207)

Kade’s Playground and Splash Pad offer a fun, safe, and accessible space where kids of all abilities can play together, build confidence, and make friends — bringing joy and inclusion to our entire community. and a growing list of project donors are honored to unveil the name of Jefferson County’s very first universally accessible playground. Childhood is a precious time for any child, but when a

child’s days are limited on this earth their family and friends rally to make each moment count. Kade was born with Mitochondrial Disease that causes many complications including seizures and global developmental delays. Kade’s parents dreamed of the day he could play on a playground like every other child. Unfortunately, typical playgrounds are not designed for most children and adults with disabilities and/or life critical illnesses. Kade, at the young age of 3, was called to Heaven last year on October 14th, 2011. His passing fueled both Josh and Annette‘s determination to bring a universally accessible playground to his community. Josh reached out to Natalie Blakemore, founder of Unlimited Play who has successfully completed 4 playgrounds in the area, and together along with a very dedicated Mayor, Park Board, and Fire Department it is happening for the community of Jefferson County. The new Unlimited Play playground being built in Herculaneum will honorably be named Kade’s Playground.
