There is more...If you are interested in playing basketball or volleyball there is
an inside gymnasium. If you want to watch a performance there is an
amphitheater looking over the lake. If you need shade, there are shade and
misters everywhere throughout the park. There are picnic tables, concession
stands, and places for birthday parties. Even the rest areas are unique. Each
rest area is designed with the architecture, landscaping and sounds of different
countries.
Morgan's Wonderland is 25 acres with room for expansion. People have been
calling from all over the world to learn more about this one-of-a kind family
park. It won't stay one-of-a-kind for long. Once the park is open and running
smoothly, Hartman and the non-profit organization he started to operate
Morgan's Wonderland, will start dedicating their time to help other communities
replicate what they have done in Texas.

If you have a child with a disability
you may want to move to San
Antonio, TX. Because this where
you will find, starting in April 2010,
the first Ultra Accessible Family

Here you will be able to have your
wheelchair go up and down on the

You will be able to ride a train
around the park and sit anywhere
on the train you want. You can
explore the Sensory Village, a
pretend play town filled with
sensory activities. Sensory
activities don't stop there, oh no,
there is so much more to do.

Many of things you can play on and with at Morgan's Wonderland never existed before Gordon Hartman put his mind
to providing an oasis for those needing a safe place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Hartman, who has a
daughter with cognitive disabilities, had a desire to re-imagine the possibilities of what an inclusive park could be. He
let his imagination run free and thus there is now a carousel where the animals have specially designed safety backs
to provide stability and wheelchairs have special chariots that go up and down.

People visiting will be given wristbands that provide state-of-the-art security technology. These RFID will hold
important medical information and will help guests to locate all the members of their party quickly.
And even though Morgan's Wonderland is being compared to Disney World for people with disabilities, families will
not go broke visiting this park. People with disabilities will be able to enter the park for free, along with one caregiver.
The remaining people will have to pay a nominal admission fee. Sports Outdoor and Recreation (SOAR), the
non-profit running Morgan's Wonderland, also operates the South Texas Area Regional (STAR) Soccer Complex.
The profits from the sports complex will go to the daily operations of Morgan's Wonderland.
It appears that SOAR and Gordon Hartman have thought of everything. Including hiring someone with 18 years
experience operating Sea World to help with operations to ensure everything runs smoothly. To ensure that every
aspect of the park is truly ready for operations, they are having test runs of the operation of the park prior to April to
so that everything runs how they envisioned and they will have time to make needed adjustments.
It is not always the case that family entertainment centers offer the combination of strong dedication, great
imagination, and superb business acumen such as Morgan's Wonderland has. It is this combination that will enable
to this park to last while other family entertainment centers close.
Morgan's Wonderland and STAR Soccer Complex are located just northeast of downtown San Antonio at Thousand
Oaks and Wurzbach Parkway. This is the former site of the Longhorn Quarry and is directly across from the new
North East ISD Stadium Sports complex.
So make your plane reservation now! April in San Antonio. What a great place for a family vacation. Learn more
