The Story of Olivia's Playground at Salina Regional Health Center
Salina Regional Health Center proudly introduces Olivia's Playground, a beacon of inclusivity and community spirit. Named after Olivia Bloomfield, whose joyful presence graced the park's opening, this playground embodies the vision of a multigenerational space where people of all abilities can come together for play and exercise.
The Story Behind Olivia's Playground
In June 2019, the dream of Olivia's Playground materialized, thanks to the dedication of Salinans Sid and Susy Reitz. Inspired by their granddaughter Olivia, who cherishes inclusive playgrounds in her hometown of Leawood, Kansas, the Reitzs envisioned a space that would cater to individuals of all abilities year-round. With unwavering support from the Salina Regional Health Foundation and the community at large, their dream became a reality.
But Olivia's Playground is more than just a park—it's a testament to the power of community collaboration and compassion. It's a place where laughter knows no bounds, and barriers are replaced with opportunities for connection and joy.
