Allocates 10 percent of Green Acres funding to local government units for development of completely inclusive playgrounds.
S 362 directs 10% of funds allocated to local governments for recreation and conservation projects under New Jersey's Green Acres program to develop or retrofit "completely inclusive playgrounds." This applies specifically to local government units (municipalities and counties) managing public parks and recreation spaces. The bill amends existing law to require that 10% of the 38% of Green Acres funds designated for local government grants must be used for inclusive playgrounds - covering both new construction and updates to existing facilities. The provision ensures these playgrounds meet accessibility standards for children of all abilities, without creating new funding streams.
