Nick Hostler Foundation Supports Accessible Playground at Northeast Community Park with $8,000 Donation

Northeast Community Park is proud to announce an $8,000 donation from The Nick Hostler Foundation, to support the development of the park’s new accessible playground, designed to serve children and families of all abilities.

The donation was presented to Northeast Community Park and helped them fully fund their goal to create a space where children of all physical and developmental abilities can play, explore, and belong together. The accessible playground is a key component of the park’s mission to remove barriers and foster inclusive community spaces in northeast Springfield.

The Nick Hostler Foundation was established to honor the legacy of Nick Hostler and to promote opportunities for people of all abilities to be active, engaged, and included. Their support reflects a shared belief that play should never be limited by physical or developmental challenges.

“We are grateful to be a small part of the accessible and inclusive Northeast Community Park playground.  This aligns succinctly with The Nick Hostler Foundation's mission of inclusion and acceptance.” said Mark Kay Hostler of The Nick Hostler Foundation. “Northeast Community Park is creating something truly meaningful for families in this community, and we’re honored to support that vision.”

Northeast Community Park continues to raise funds for the accessible playground and surrounding park features, with the goal of creating a welcoming, barrier-free environment for children and families across the region.
