Jonnie and Friends Reach for the Stars strives to revitalize the fully accessible Universal Universe playground located in Southside Community Park near downtown Sacramento.
By raising funds and collaborating with the City of Sacramento, we install fun, inclusive play structures that allow kids of all abilities to play together, make friends, and reach for the stars.
These children all benefit from having a fully accessible, well-maintained playground where they can play, dream, and meet new friends.
Together, we are revitalizing an inclusive playground where children of all abilities can learn, grow, and have fun while playing with their peers.
Sensory Play Center: Cost: $40,900 / Goal: $16,000

On the Big Day of Giving, we are raising the final funds we need for a Sensory Play Center for the playground. Adding an exciting multi-sensory experience at the Universal Universe playground, the Play Center’s multiple panels will encourage children to interact and explore textures, sounds and shapes. This visually stimulating feature will also engage peripheral vision and visual tracking and encourage more visitors to this special playground. Additional future projects include a sensory garden and braille plaques of the sun, planets, and galaxy.
