Water parks are great fun, but most of them aren’t accessible to people with disabilities

All that just changed though thanks to Morgan’s Inspiration Island!

The water park is the world’s first water park for people with disabilities

“Our goal is to provide a great guest experience in an inclusive, safe, comfortable, not-overly-crowded environment,” says park founder Gordon Hartman

The park is an extension of Morgan’s Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas

Hartman named the park after his daughter, Morgan, who also has disabilities

He created Morgan’s Inspiration Island with the help of doctors, parents, teachers, special needs therapists, and caregivers

The park caters for people with all types of disabilities

The venue offers traceable bracelets that allow parents to locate their children

It also provide PneuChairs, air-powered, waterproof wheelchairs that families can rent for free

Every part of the park is wheelchair-accessible

And children with “special needs” can enter the park for free

The park “promises to give individuals with physical or cognitive special needs a place where they can splash and play without barriers,” Gordon said

“[It] is not a special-needs park; it’s a park of inclusion”
