Mission: The mission of Dilly's Place is to provide a no bounds playground for all children in and around Sumner County, not just those who can run and jump.
Wheelchairs and Sand and wood chips don't allow easy access. There are an estimated 266 disabled children in Sumner County with a total of 5980 children . Currently, there are no playgrounds in the county like a no bounds playground that provide opportunities to all children for outdoor free play that include physical, emotional, social and cognitive benefits.
Results: We have raised $57,585.48 through fudraisers, memorials, private and business donations.
