When her son Zachary’s disability prevented him from playing on a traditional playground, Natalie Mackay got to work.
Using her recreational management background, Natalie designed and built a playground for kids of ALL abilities – and one where Zachary could just be a kid playing with other kids, despite his physical challenges.
In the last 20 years, her nonprofit Unlimited Play has created over 100 fully accessible playgrounds around the country that foster friendships, freedom, and community for kids and parents alike. These play spaces go beyond even what traditional ADA-compliant playgrounds offer, spreading “joy and inclusion to all children.”
