Looking back seven years ago, Leo's Landing Inclusive Playground opened on this day in 2019 at Saluda Shoals Park. Funded through donations to the Saluda Shoals Foundation from local businesses and individuals in the community, Leo's Landing is a place where people of all ages and abilities can play together. Inspired by Leo Bugenske and his family, Leo’s Landing was designed to promote inclusive play, with wheelchair-accessible features and opportunities for imaginative play, physical activity, social interaction and sensory exploration. In 2022, the playground expanded, creating even more opportunities for inclusive play.

Today, Leo’s Landing continues to be a place where children of all abilities can play side by side, families can spend time together and everyone can feel welcome. With accessible features for children of all abilities, Leo’s Landing is a true community treasure. 💚

National Senior Citizens Day is a great time to highlight the many programs and services ICRC offers for older adults in our community. From senior clubs, social activities, and fitness and dance classes to luncheons, workshops, and senior trips, there are plenty of ways to stay active, meet new people, and enjoy time with friends.

ICRC also offers support services for seniors and their families, including home-delivered meals, nutrition sites, transportation and our loan closet.

Whether you’re looking to stay active, try something new, spend time with others or find extra support, there’s something for you at ICRC in a caring community that feels like family.
