Playground Campaign

Donation Tiers and Benefits

Here is your chance to donate to something grand!

Dream with us:
Support our playground project

Let’s All Play is both a call to action and a shared belief that every child deserves a space to explore, imagine and simply be a kid! This campaign will create a vibrant, accessible outdoor park that is an extension of the Children’s Museum at Port Wonder. This free park is designed to bring families together and energize the lakefront area of Lake Charles with a space inspired by connection, creativity and joy!

The Children’s Museum playground exhibit at Port Wonder will be a fully inclusive play experience for children of all abilities. It will give everyone an equal opportunity to actively learn, discover, and play alongside siblings, parents, and friends. Giving a child with disability whether that be a physical, a learning, or a mental disability the chance to feel included not only benefits the child, but it benefits the greater world around them.

Please consider donating to this worthy endeavor so no child is left behind and everyone can play together while visiting the Children’s Museum at Port Wonder! For more information, please email alexandra@swlakids.org. Click the button below to donate!

The Children’s Museum is a 501 c(3) non-profit organization. We provide hands-on educational exhibits and programs to children and their families in a safe and stimulating atmosphere that promotes creativity, imagination, and learning!
