Colorado mom creates inclusive park for children of all needs in daughter's memory

A mother in the Colorado community of Sterling Ranch had a mission to create an inclusive playground in memory of her daughter.

Today, not only has she achieved that goal, but she has also worked to provide more recreational opportunities for those with special needs in her community.

"The most beautiful thing is you see kiddos who need the extra help playing with kiddos who don't," said Jeanette Reynolds.

The inclusive park has been Reynolds' dream for years since her daughter Madison was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called lissencephaly, which causes brain malformations that can result in a wide variety of symptoms affecting growth and development.

"She was severely disabled. She couldn't walk or talk or eat on her own. She was tube fed," Reynolds said.
