Northern Colorado town opens inclusive playground made possible with lemonade stand fundraisers

Berthoud celebrated the grand opening of S'Miles Playground on Saturday. It is the first publicly accessible and inclusive playground in town.

S'Miles Playground was inspired by 9-year-old Miles Bowling. Miles has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. 

The playground was made possible thanks to some lemonade stand fundraisers that eventually grew into a community-wide effort to build a place where children of all abilities can play together. 

"There's lemonade because we did this whole thing by raising money with lemonade stands. We did lemonade stands two times every year, and we finally got this done," said Miles. 

Miles and his mom said the lemonade stand at the playground will continue to raise money for other efforts like this one.
