Groundbreaking ceremony held for new all-inclusive park in Wauwatosa
CBS 58 WAUWATOSA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A groundbreaking ceremony was held Wednesday, Sept. 16, for a one-of-a-kind park in Wauwatosa.
The new $22 million Moss Universal Park will serve as a model of inclusion, including equipment meant for people of all ages and abilities.
While reflecting on his personal battle as a childhood cancer survivor, founder Damian Buchman told us the vision behind the project.
"Thirty-three years ago, thanks to the guy I can't even look at right now, I walked out of Children's Wisconsin a survivor," Buchman said. "No one expected me to see my 15th or 16th birthday, but this is what that's about. I want to show all the kids, all the families, all the grandparents, all the aunts, all them uncles, that they are unstoppable too."
Organizers say Moss Universal Park will be considered the first and largest of its kind in the country.
It will be located on the existing 18-acre property known as the Wisconsin Avenue Park, across the street from St. Camillus senior living community and at the intersection of the Zoo Interchange.
