Officials in Camden County, New Jersey have announced plans for a new athletic field designed specially for children and adults with disabilities.
According to the South Jersey Times, the 13,000-square-foot rubber playing field is set to be located in Cherry Hill’s Challenge Grove Park, the current home of Jake’s Place Playground for children with physical limitations.
