"Hi, I'm Therese and I live in Berwick, in the City of
Casey. When I was first introduced to Touched by Olivia and their playground
philosophies, I just knew that Casey needed a Livvi’s Place!
As the mother of two children, one with a physical disability,
I understand some of the challenges that regular playgrounds can present. Some
of my friends also have children with special needs or disability and I have
watched saddened as they are unable to spend quality play time in typical
playgrounds. With many families having no choice but to limit play
opportunities to their own homes and backyards.
Opportunities to meet others and to connect with my
community have always been very important to me. A ‘Livvi’s Place’ in Casey
will be a place for families with children of all ages, stages and abilities to
meet, socialise, connect with their community and make new friendships in a
safe and play filled environment. I’m very proud that the City of Casey have agreed
that Casey needs a ‘Livvi’s Place’ and I’m very much looking forward to watching
our play space develop.
