The Adams Club Adventure Oasis (ACAO) is a $1.6 million project, covered by donors and grants, that will deliver a brand-new playground space for local children in Topeka. It is designed to give kids between the ages of five and 12 a safe place to play outside with friends.
“This is more than just a playground—it’s a promise to our kids that they deserve spaces filled with energy, joy, and possibility,” McWilliams said. “Adventure Oasis will be a place where all children, regardless of background, can feel safe, inspired, and empowered through play.”
