In June 2006, a grandmother envisioned a state-of-the-art play environment as the first handicap accessible playground from A.C. to Longport, with music, art, and history. CSure Children's Park was formed as a nonprofit organization to create a playground that conforms with ADA standards and meets the needs and abilities of all children. Its goals are to encourage personal achievement and to integrate all children, both developing and those with special needs, in a safe environment where their abilities will be challenged and accepted. The playground was planned by Leathers and Associates with imagination from children from the VECC, Beth Judah Preschool, and Saint James School. It was created for longevity in a coastal setting using structural plastic and plastic component lumber to withstand salt air erosion. CSure Childrens Park was built in 14 days in August 2007 in a barn-raising style, with hundreds of volunteers coming from near and far to work shoulder to shoulder and make the dream come true.
