Big news for accessibility and inclusion in White Plains! Delfino Park is now home to the We-Go-Swing, the first of its kind in Westchester County, allowing children and adults in wheelchairs to swing alongside their peers and family. We’re especially proud that our very own ADA Specialist, Michael Hellmann, contributed to this milestone as a member of the White Plains Mayor's Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities. This is a huge step toward creating spaces where everyone can play, connect, and enjoy the freedom of inclusive recreation. Visit Delfino Park to experience this incredible addition to the community!
