New inclusive equipment coming to San Luis, Arizona

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - San Luis is taking steps toward inclusion by adding new accessible playground equipment.

Over 290 kids will benefit from the improvements.

Thanks to $59,000 in donations from the Cocopah Tribe and Campesinos Sin Frontera, a wheelchair-accessible carousel and communication board designed with images and words will be added to Joe Orduño Park.

"With [these] two donations combined, we were able to purchase inclusive playground equipment that we are going to be adding at the Joe Orduño Park and that's the idea, continue having you know, adding inclusive playground," said Angelica Roldan, Parks and Recreation Director for the City of San Luis.

It is expected to be completed and open to the public this August.
