Are there inclusion or accessibility grants specifically for splash pads?

Inclusion-focused funding sources for splash pad accessibility upgrades include several federal and foundation programs. The NPS Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) program prioritizes outdoor recreation in urban, park-poor communities and funds inclusive design ($300K-$5M, 50/50 match). The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation's Quality of Life Grants Program ($25K-$50K) funds projects directly improving life for people living with paralysis — accessible splash pad components, transfer benches, and adult-changing rooms qualify. Many states run dedicated ADA-improvement grant programs through their Departments of Disability Services or Aging. Specific competitive components include: powered changing tables (Changing Spaces / Universal Changing Place standards), wheelchair-accessible water features, ground-level interactives, audible/visual cues for sensory accessibility, and quiet zones. Title IX itself is education-focused, not recreation-funding, but its disability-related cousin Section 504/ADA opens specific federal compliance pathways. Don't forget local Centers for Independent Living — many run small re-grant programs.
