Jonathan's Dream

Jonathan's Dream A playground for people of all abilities.

The original Jonathan’s Dream, inspired by the Barzach family of West Hartford and built-in 1996 as the first Boundless Playground, created an inclusive, accessible play space for families and children of all abilities. The new Jonathan’s Dream extends this legacy with an engaging playground that keeps children of all ages and abilities active and moving.

A huge thank you to Jay MacCormack for beautifully refurbishing our two Little Free Library boxes!

Please remember:
📚 Bring a book, take a book — Replenishing the books helps us keep the library full.
📚 Please only take from the Braille library if you are visually impaired, so these books can reach the people who need them most.

We’re so grateful for the generosity, kindness, and community spirit that keeps Jonathan’s Dream thriving. Come by, explore, and enjoy a good book! 💙

Planning a Party or Event at Jonathan’s Dream?

If you would like to host a party or event at Jonathan’s Dream, please book in advance through our website.

We kindly ask that no events be held at the playground without a prior reservation. This helps us maintain a clean, safe, and enjoyable environment for all visitors.

Our goal is to ensure that:

Tables remain available for the general public (many families travel from far away to enjoy the playground).
Food stays contained to the pavilion area to prevent bees and bugs and to keep the playground clean.
Jonathan’s Dream is a non-profit playground. All funds raised through party bookings directly support daily and long-term maintenance of the playground.

Please be considerate of others and make sure to reserve your event in advance.

Thank you for your cooperation!

I have an opportunity to write a grant proposal for Jonathan's Dream. I am going to be there today at 1:00 to do a simple survey to get some updated info on who comes to Jonathan’s Dream. Any chance you are free and might want to help me? Or participate in survey?

Thank you Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration for honoring Jonathan, Jonathan’s Dream, and our family with these articles - especially publishing them today on the anniversary of Jonathan’s death. I am truly touched.💕

Today we honor Jonathan Peter Barzach‘s angel day. The Barzach family played an extraordinary role in our beginnings, and we mark this day with a tribute page to Jonathan, the Barzach family and all the lives that have been forever changed through their love, dedication, and honoring of their beautiful boy, Jonathan.
