Jake's Field of Dreams is the latest playground from the amazing Unlimited Play company. It's all sports-themed and it's amazing. It's also enclosed with a fence which is always great.
"At an early age, Jake was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which causes severe muscle weakness and worsens quickly. He was 19 when he passed away in 2012.
“He always wanted to play sports,” said Amie Bossi, Unlimited Play development director.
Jake’s spirit — and love for sports — will live on forever. Unlimited Play, a non-profit organization based in St. Charles County, is currently in the final stages of fundraising to build an all-inclusive playground in Wentzville. Named Jake’s Field of Dreams, it will be located at Heartland Park, located at 100 William Dierberg Dr.
The design of the playground recognizes Jake’s love of sports. Some of the features include a replica of a baseball field, climbing bars that mimic a football helmet, and a zip line between two football goal posts." (Quoted from this article.)
