Help us build HOPE Park — a fully inclusive playground in Jacksonville for every child and every family.

Close your eyes and picture a playground.

A playground where no one sits on the bench.

Most playgrounds weren’t built for every child.

There’s always a lip of a curb, a set of stairs, a swing that doesn’t fit, a bench where a kid ends up watching everyone else play. HOPE Park changes that.

HOPE Park is a fully inclusive playground designed for children of all abilities — not retrofitted, not “accessible enough.” Built. For. Them. Every ramp, every surface, every piece of equipment is designed so that every child, every sibling, every parent, and every grandparent can play together.

“Belonging isn’t something we say. It’s something we build.”
– Paul Tesori

Three Parks. One Mission.

We’re in the early stages of bringing HOPE Park to Jacksonville. As we grow, so do our parks —
from a first neighborhood build to a signature destination.
Your gift today helps us break ground.

The Neighborhood Park

13,590 sq ft · 64 accessible play activities

A community-scale inclusive playground designed to bring belonging to one Jacksonville neighborhood. Shade sails, sensory play, climbing structures, full accessibility from the first step in.

The Community Park

25,065 sq ft · 110 accessible play activities

A larger destination park serving families across the region. Expanded sensory zones, dedicated toddler areas, and a full inclusive play experience for every age and ability.

The Signature Park

43,365 sq ft · 132 accessible play activities

Our dream build — a signature HOPE Park with expansive shade coverage, dynamic climbing systems, and space for hundreds of children and families to play together at once.

Help us build the wings.

HOPE Park doesn’t get built by one big gift. It gets built by a community. We are thrilled to have an incredible partner in Zawyer Sports Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Zawyer Sports, ownership group of our hometown Jacksonville Icemen and nearly 20 total sports properties across the United States.
Now we need to expand our reach!

Every dollar goes directly toward bringing HOPE Park to life — from breaking ground on our first location to expanding into more neighborhoods across Jacksonville. 100% of every contribution to the Tesori Family Foundation goes directly back to the families and communities we serve. Give once. Give monthly. Give what feels right. Every gift is a piece of Hope Park.

Why This Matters

Let’s be the city that says to every child:
You. Belong. Here.
