Donors, friends gather to celebrate construction of inclusive play space

With a flash of golden shovels and a spray of dirt picked up on the wind,
Magical Bridge Founder Olenka Villareal, Palo Alto Mayor Nancy Shepherd and
supporters broke celebratory ground Monday morning at the site of Mitchell
Park's forthcoming Magical Bridge Playground. About 100 community members
attended the ceremony, with speeches from Villareal, Shepherd, Santa Clara
County Supervisor Joe Simitian, and local families.

The playground, which aims to transcend American Disabilities Act compliance
to meet the needs of all children and their families, is slated to open in
September. Physical work will officially begin next Monday.
