OUR Vision

Wishing Well Park has been a part of our community since June 2006. After 20+ years, our cherished community space was in the midst of a much-needed revitalization..

Project SWING, the nonprofit that maintains Wishing Well Park, has undertaken an effort to revitalize the Park, with support from Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, community volunteers, local businesses, and neighbors committed to providing a safe, accessible and fun place for all community children to enjoy. The team’s goal is to completely revitalize Wishing Well Park to make it more safe, modern, accessible, and inclusive by offering the following:

  • New play equipment clustered by age group, made of natural materials

  • Play elements accessible to children with disabilities

  • Accessible pathways throughout the Park, and updated hardscaping

  • Outdoor musical instruments and a stage for creative play

  • Covered seating area

  • Nature path outside of the Park perimeter

  • Plantings to create natural shade, and a more park-life feel


Phase 1 Elements. Please note, during this phase, the existing structure with slides will remain where it is.

Phase I highlights (completed 2025)

The investment to achieve our full vision for Wishing Well Park is underway, with Phase II, which kicked off in 2026 and an expected additional cost of $200,000,.
