Pathway to Walker Upper Elementaryâs future playground needs nearly $50K worth of ADA upgrades Walker Upper Elementary Playground (Source: WVIR) By Riley Wyant | May 10, 2021 at 9:51 PM EDT - Updated May 10 at 9:52 PM CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Students at Walker Upper Elementary have long awaited the arrival of their very own playground, but now a new obstacle is in the way. The parts have arrived and the installation has been paid for, but now volunteers are told the pathway leading to the playground has fallen out of compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Christa Bennett is the Executive Director of the initiative called âA Playground for Walker.â She says it is going to cost them an extra $50,000 or so to make the pathway to the playground handicap accessible. It is a tall task, she says, they are eager to take on.
