The Tatum’s Garden Foundation exists to cultivate accessible, inclusive play.
The Tatum's Garden Foundation oversees Tatum's Garden, a privately built and managed fully-accessible playground in Salinas, CA. Tatum's Garden is sustained by the ongoing generosity of our community in the form of donations to the Foundation and volunteering to help clean the playground every other month.
Our work impacts all of Monterey County (and beyond), by being the first fully inclusive playground in Monterey County. It is used by families that have children with disabilities, families whose parents or grandparents have disabilities and usually cannot play with their children or grandchildren at the park, and also for adults with developmental disabilities. It is a safe haven for people of all abilities.
Seeing my three children play together side-by-side at the park and witnessing their joy and happiness has been an amazing experience. Our community is so blessed to have Tatum’s Garden and it makes me proud that our community came together to raise money and build this magical place.
