The Hudson Valley Region especially with its proximity to New York City lags well behind its upstate brethren..... Help 3 Up 3 Down bring a state of the art inclusion park and set of fields to our region. Share this on Facebook and Instagram (3up3down_charity) and follow our progress....help us decide where in the Hudson Valley our EveryAbility Park will go. We're actively looking for a donation and/or partnership for 8-15 acres of land, a destination.

The final phase of Carrier Park Field of Dreams opens in May.

EVERYABILITY PARK COMING SOON - Every child deserves a place to play. Sharing with our followers and beyond this AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH...

Play is a universal part of childhood. It’s where friendships begin… confidence grows… and joy lives. But for too many children in our community, that simple joy is out of reach.

Because most playgrounds weren’t built for everyone. They have barriers surfaces that wheelchairs can’t cross, equipment some kids can’t use, spaces that unintentionally leave children watching…instead of playing.

And no child should ever feel like they don’t belong. That’s why EveryAbility Park matters.

We’re building more than a playground;
we’re creating a vibrant, inclusive, sensory-rich space where children of all abilities can play, explore, and thrive…together.

A place where:
* Differences are celebrated
* Barriers are removed..and no one sits on the sidelines

Because when one child is left out… we all lose. And when every child is included… we all win. Let’s build something bigger than a park. Let’s build belonging.

Be part of the movement. Support the EveryAbility Park. Visit us and follow our progress, and even donate!

PLEASE SHARE especially to those that want to help and be involved. Help us decide where in the Greater Hudson Valley this park will land.....
