On March 2, 2016 the City Council approved the concept of an inclusive playground at Lions Park and authorized the fundraising efforts of the Fun For All Task Force. Task Force members have applied for grants as well as met with local business owners, corporations and various organizations seeking donations.

Many generous donators have come forward in many ways and the park was mostly completed in October of 2016. The donor wall is currently under construction however donors can also be recognized on a bench or piece of equipment. 

Per city requirements for donations, any monetary donation of $1000 or more needs to be accepted by two-thirds vote of the City Council. The City has received a donation of $1000 from Joe Theis in honor of his grandparents, Gene and Esther Brown and his uncle Tim Ratigan.  The Shakopee Valley Lions would also like to donate an additional bench to the perimeter of the playground.
