Now Open! Thank You to all our Supporters!
Welcome to The Shaw Family Playground!
We are spearheaded by the Sheboygan Park Project in partnership with the Sheboygan Jaycees to create a fully accessible ADA playground. Sheboygan County schools and parks currently have none. Our mission is to remove every barrier possible to allow each and every child the opportunity to experience unorganized, imaginative play alongside their peers on a safe and accessible playground. For many children, so often left on the sidelines, this will be their first experience at inclusive play and unrestrained FUN!
Watch this video to see how it all began!

Time and time again I am reminded God perfectly orchestrated every detail of this project. As you know we're still fundraising, we had a very generous and unexpected anonymous donation of $125,050!!
Please share us with your family and friends just in case they want an engraved fence picket, quantity is limited.
We LOVE that you're all enjoying the playground! Here's a few common questions that we receive.
1. Can I rent the Shelter or the Playground?
No.
The shelter and the playground will not be rentable in order to keep it open to the public. There are other shelters in Evergreen Park that are rentable. We hope you all enjoy your time at the playground
2. When will my fence picket be installed?
Orders received after Oct. 31, 2018 to early April 2019 are expected to be received in July, we will schedule install with our volunteers ASAP, Kohler Generator has been generous to volunteer with installation!
The next order will to be placed will all depend on how many orders we receive. Our orders are quantity dependent for pricing. Order yours today before any possible price increase.
Please ensure you send payment when you place your order. **Orders received without payment will not be installed or will be removed if they were installed without payment. **
Order forms are online and will need to be printed and mailed.

***If you're unsure if you sent your PayPal payment in the past please check your PayPal or verify with your bank if you aren't certain if you mailed a check.*** We do not send invoices.
3. When will the bathrooms be open?
We're waiting on final product to arrive, as soon as it does we will get it installed and open. Our plumbers have graciously volunteered their time please be patient with them as they work extra hours after a long day to get this done ASAP.
4. Official grand opening?
Stay tuned, we're looking sometime in August.
5. Can I paint a bench?
Yes, please send us a private message if you're interested and we will contact you as we receive them.
6. Are you still fundraising?
Yes! Our budget increased when we took over the shelter/restroom project! Sponsor a fence picket to help us, sponsor a bench, or just send a donation to help. Every bit counts. This was possible because of so many generous groups and individuals in our community.
Stay tuned for an exciting update 🙂
7. Are dogs/pets allowed?
No.
Please note this is a city park and animals are prohibited. We LOVE animals especially dogs but please respectfully leave them at home. Thank you for understanding.
8. I noticed sponsored signs, is everything sponsored?
Almost! The fence pickets are for everyone to order. The playground equipment was all sponsored and you will find the generous donor information on each plaque. The large tree fort and climbing structure is still available for sponsorship. Please contact us if you are interested.
Please remember our team is small its only 2 of us, a treasurer, and the Friends of the Jaycees contact. We're all volunteering our time. We try to be prompt in responses and apologize in advance for any delay.
Thank you everyone for your continued support! Don't forget to share your pictures on our page while you're playing, with your fence picket, or by the logo sign 🙂
