MILFORD — Lisa Vaccino doesn’t want a playground just for children with disabilities — she wants a community play mecca for kids of all abilities.

On Saturday, she unveiled design plans and a footprint at Eisenhower Park for Bodie’s Place, named for Vaccino’s son, Johnny “Bodie” Vaccino,” who has cerebral palsy.

“I want to have a place where everyone in the community can play together, and hopefully it will trigger more acceptance,” she said.

The playground will feature a flat ground made of recycled rubber, instead of wood chips or sand, which will allow kids with wheelchairs or walkers to easily roll from one area to another. The play equipment will all be connected by ramps so that children in wheelchairs can get off the ground and go anywhere in the park that other kids can go.

“That way they can all get to the highest place and have fun together,” she said.

There will also be raised sand boxes for kids to play in, musical instruments such as drums, and a sensory garden with blooming flowers.

Six-year-old Bodie sat in his wheelchair Saturday and smiled while taking in all the sights. Dozens of people came out to support his project, including Mayor James L. Richetelli Jr., who said he welcomes Bodie’s Place in his community.

“There is a movement and a spirit in the community that is exemplified by the spirit of volunteers for Bodie’s Place,” he said. “We are proud to partner with the Vaccinos.”

Vaccino said Bodie has “really started coming out of his shell” thanks to the project. His 4-year-old sister, Emma, also has been getting involved. She played alongside her brother Saturday and told visitors she can’t wait for the playground to open.

“I’m happy because it is so much fun here,” she said.

The playground was designed by John Hollerbach, owner of Creative Recreation, who has worked on other projects associated with the nonprofit Boundless Playgrounds.

Vaccino began her quest to build Bodie’s Place after discovering Hannah’s Place, a Boundless Playground in New Haven specially designed for children with disabilities.

So far, Vaccino has raised $180,000 for the project, including a $75,000 grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection. But she and Bodie still have a long way to go. In all, they need $450,000 to complete the project, which leaves $270,000 left to go.

But Vaccino is optimistic that the funds can be raised, and hopes to have the playground’s grand opening next fall. Right now, she is seeking corporate sponsorship for Bodie’s Place and, as always, is accepting donations from the public.

The family’s efforts to get plans for the playground off the ground has been a bit of a “whirlwind,” Vaccino admits.

“This has taken over our lives,” she said with a laugh, then turned serious. “When things start to get crazy, we just keep reminding ourselves why we are doing this.”
