SPRINGVILLE, NY - In just one day, about 140 volunteers are building a unique playground for some very special children.

It's called the Enchanted Garden - and soon it will be filled with children who may have never played on a playground before.

Piece by piece and screw by screw, this group of volunteers is building a playground - literally from the ground up.

But it's not just any playground - it's specially designed for children with all types of developmental disabilities.

"We had an old, 20-year-old playground that was causing the kids to get slivers and we had bees' nests in it,"said Executive Director Chris Lewis.

Now the more than 100 children who attend the Preschool Learning Center in Springville will be able to play on this outdoor jungle gym, even if they're in a wheelchair.
