In 1996 Jonathan's Dream a fully accessible or universal playground opened in West Hartford, CT. A fully accessible or universal playground means that the playground meets all federal standards for safety so that it is accessible for children with disabilities. Mrs. Barzach had a vision for such a playground to honor her son, Jonathan who died in 1995 of spinal muscular atrophy. She and her husband raised $300,000, gathered over 1,000 volunteers and in October 1995 opened Jonathan's Dream! It is amazing and lots of fun for kids with or without disabilities! 

Take Rte 189 and turn into the driveway for the Jewish Community Center & Jonathan's Dream Playground.

Park directly in front of Jonathan's Dream. Stand Facing the Giant Rainbow. Turn and walk to your right until you get to the drive-way. Turn Left and follow the sidewalk. The fence that surrounds Johnathan's Dream Park will be on your left. When you come to the back corner of the fence you will see a clump of a birch trees. Look in the area behind the birch trees for your treasure. It will be under some wood and leaves.

Please be as inconspicuous as possible. Infact please keep us up to date via talk list as you visit it so we know how it is doing!
