You may also call 507-774-7110 or register in person at their offices.Line up sponsors or contributors and be all set to take the big jump in January.

The Miracle Field and Inclusive Playground will be built at Manthey Park.It'll be a fun place for all kids to play. It will feature a specially cushioned field to help cut back on any injuries should a young person fall. It will also be set up so wheelchairs are easier to manipulate. The park is planning to also feature activities and equipment where children use just their sense of touch instead of seeing and doing.

There are currently just a couple parks within driving distance of Owatonna. A park where children with a wide array of disabilities will be able to play should prove to be a drawing card for the city. Get set to take the dive on January 26.
