Our Projects
Inclusive Playspace at the Lee Center
A more inclusive pre-K tot lot is coming to the Nannie J. Lee Recreation Center so children can play and explore.
This fully accessible playground will include a playhouse, meeting spaces, play mound/tunnel, tactile walls, and so much more!
The refreshed playground will be near the Ruthanne Lodato Memorial Playground (which was completed in 2015), helping to create a larger and fuller playground experience. Components of the new playground will be named in honor of our dedicated Kelley Cares friend and volunteer, Tommy Knoernschild.
Ruthanne Lodato Memorial Playground
With the help of CVS Caremark (who generously donated $25,000), the Miracle League of Alexandria, and support from our community, we were able to build a fully inclusive and accessible playground at the Nannie J. Lee Center in Alexandria.
Kelley Cares Miracle Field
Kelley Cares is proud to have partnered with the City's Department of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities (DRPCA) and the Miracle League of Alexandria, a private citizen group dedicated to the installation of a Miracle Field in Alexandria.
