Inclusive playground opens in Talladega
TALLADEGA, Ala. (WIAT) — A new playground has opened in Talladega where everyone can fun, no matter their ability.
The grand opening of the Unity Playground at Veterans Park was held Monday. It's the city's first fully inclusive public playground and is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Several groups contributed to the park. For some, it was a personal cause.
'Our granddaughter was born with Down syndrome, so that put a huge light in our family that we wanted to make sure that our Merrin would have somewhere she could play,' said Kay Jennings, executive director of TCR Child Care Corporation.
City manager Derrick Swanson said the city is still accepting donations for the park, so it can be expanded and updated for future children.
