Handicap Accessible

Handicap-accessible parks provide medically complex families and their loved ones with the opportunity to participate in recreational activities that are often inaccessible to them. With this in mind, The Unforgotten Families will share some of the best adaptive playgrounds nationwide. 

Morgan’s Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas

Created by two devoted parents, Morgan’s Wonderland is a first-of-its-kind inclusive theme park offering a wide range of rides and activities for individuals with disabilities and unique needs. 

“Every day we work to provide an extraordinary place where smiles and laughter lead to wonderful memories with family members, friends, and caregivers. We want Morgan’s Wonderland to be a place where the common element of play creates an atmosphere of inclusion for those with and without disabilities while encouraging everyone to gain a greater understanding of one another.”
