Help us build HOPE Park — a fully inclusive playground in Jacksonville where every child gets off the bench and into the game.
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.
Because when you build a playground for everyone, you build a better playground for everyone.
“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 · Ages 5–12
A community-scale inclusive playground designed to bring belonging to one Jacksonville neighborhood. Shade sails, sensory play, climbing structures, and full accessibility from the first step in.
The Community Park
25,065 sq ft · 110 accessible play activities · Ages 2–12
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 · Ages 2–12
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.
“Every gift moves us closer to the first shovel in the ground.”
Why This Matters
1 in 4 Americans live with a disability.
1 in 31 children has an autism diagnosis — a 312% increase since 2000.
1 in 9 children have ADHD.
1 in 16 children have a sensory difference.
Every one of these kids deserves a place to play.
HOPE Park is that place.
Help us build the wings. 
HOPE Park doesn’t get built by one big gift.
It gets built by a community.
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 back to the families we serve.
Give once. Give monthly. Give what feels right. Every gift is a piece of the playground.
The Tesori Family Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3). All gifts are tax-deductible.
