\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Robert\u2019s Adventure Playground at McLane Park was inspired by the determination of Julie Limpert (Hillis).\u00a0 Mrs. Limpert continued to push for an All Abilities Playground at McLane Park, and along with other community members, this project came to fruition.\u00a0 The name of the playground references Robert Rowland, a young man that passed away in 2016 at the age of 17.\u00a0 Robert was an outgoing, happy and courageous young man that did not let Duchenne\u2019s Muscular Dystrophy dictate his demeanor.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0With the blessing of the family, the playground gained its name in honor of him.\u00a0 Several other individuals with special needs have been the driving force behind creating this playground, the second of its kind in Poplar Bluff (Kiwanis Bacon Park).\u00a0 This playground is available to all children and adults, and does not exclude anyone because of a disability.\u00a0 The spirit and inspiration of inclusion will continue to live on, through this playground and the efforts of the Poplar Bluff Community, for many years to come.<\/h3>\n
