Yesterday I received 2 different disturbing messages about the disarray of Hadley's Park. 😔🤬

In 1996 I had a dream that became a vision, and one of the first of its kind -to create a unique playground where all children could play together- with or without disabilities.

A lot has changed since the ribbon cutting on June 19, 1999. But the original dream still stands.

I would love the help of parents who use Hadley's Park and whose children grew up loving Hadley's Park to form a committee to bring the playground back to where it was when we cut the ribbon! Please feel free to share, and let's get this started!

Thank you to Bethesda Magazine for including Hadley's Park as one of your 5 Favorite Playgrounds in your Newcomers Guide! We've had a little rough patch with The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission on recreating our signs and getting them back up but it is happening! Most importantly our street sign, YES, this will ALWAYS be Hadley's Park!

For all of you with Special Needs family members, I have gone on to create a website to be a resource for special needs moms. We have a great initial team of Special-ist's who are contributing posts that we hope you will find informative, fun, and educational.

So NOT happy about this...
1. Where is our main sign at the entrance to the park on Falls Road?
2. Hadley Farm?! It is Hadley’s Park!
3. Park and Planning tore up the $250K poured in place surfacing because it wasn’t maintained properly with repairs until it became a hazard and they replaced it with these tiles which now are a huge hazard.
4. Our signs.... one face down on ground and the posts I was told have been replaced. There is NO way these are new. One sign says-Chairpersons? Should be Hadley’s Park Inc. Board of Directors. Did they spend so little time looking at what was there?
5. Park and planning ripped out our upper body area for those with physical disabilities. This is the heart and soul of what this playground was about; a level playing ground for ALL children... And what did they do with that area? Put down more picnic tables... Really? 😆
There are more things but these are on the top of the list. I have been trying to work with park and planning for the last year. I’m upset, embarrassed and disappointed! This playground was a labor of love not only by myself but a lot of others and I’d like it returned to the way it was when it was turned over to park and planning! 👎💔

We’ve seen a lot of “check-ins” here recently and we want to make sure everyone is safe and healthy and practicing social distancing, and please stay off equipment! ❤️

Hello Friends!
After the second person stoping me today I thought I’d share this and please feel free to pass it on! Hadley’s Park is indeed Hadley’s Park! This first of its kind in Maryland and the county was a labor of love by a lot of folks and has been loved by many. Upon ribbon cutting it was donated to MNCPPC with the legal understanding that it is to be known as Hadley’s Park forever! We have been in touch with MNCPPC about the sign issues and we are meeting with them shortly to get ALL of our signs BACK!

I went for a "run" on Thursday around Hadley's Park. I was hoping it would bring me inspiration and some smiles which it did but it also brought me a bit of angst. The playground looks rundown, is missing some of our signage and play elements. The dream of Hadley's Park was that of many and I was the catalyst to make it happen. I am now reaching out the the community who have used it for almost 20 years to help me raise funds to spruce it back up! If you are interested in being on a committee please PM me, ALSO i would very much like to see photo's of families who have enjoyed the park and get testimonials too. I'm going to create a website to share all of this on!! I know you've loved it, please help continue to keep the dream alive! ♥️
