About Phase II: Lucas & Friends Backyard Adventures Playground

Lucas & Friends Backyard Adventures Playground is an inclusive playground located in Perryville, MO. The playground is named for a young man named Lucas Fritsche, who was first inspired to create a place where all kids could play together when he was just 8 years old. Thanks to the support of the local community and generous donors, Lucas’s dream was realized — and on October 30, 2021, the playground celebrated its grand opening!

Now, Lucas and friends need YOUR help to build Phase II of the playground! Phase II will bring exciting new inclusive play equipment to the existing playground, including: two zip line Rail Riders, a Turnabout Spinner, a large swing set with inclusive swing seats, and two large shade structures to provide relief from the sun in the hot summer months!    

A donation of any amount can help complete Phase II of this playground. Follow Lucas and Friends Backyard Adventures Playground on Facebook for updates from Lucas himself!
