Morgan's Wonderland, San Antonio, Texas
Imagine a recreational and amusement park where children in wheelchairs can play in the sand with accessible diggers and climb on and off swings with carefree ease. What about a carousel with specially designed animal seats for guests who cannot sit upright? Off-road jeep adventures with accessible vehicles?
Gordon Hartman did. Today that $30 million, 25-acre special park — called Morgan’s Wonderland — is getting ready to open, right here in San Antonio.
This state-of-the-art park will be the largest of its kind in the world, serving as a blueprint for others across the country and paving the way for ultra-accessible recreation across the globe.
On February 25th, Morgan’s Wonderland is hosting the BMPR (Business, Media and PR Tweetup) and giving members a sneak peek into this high-tech recreational facility. Gordon Hartman will speak about his personal vision and passion for this park, which is named after his daughter.
Jennifer Coker-Hatton, is the official Twitter Tweeter for the Gordon Hartman Family Foundation and @morganswonderland — she will be talking about using social media to build awareness.
To make this a nationwide event, BlogCatalog.com and BloggersUnite.org will harness the power of their hundreds of thousands of bloggers to post on Thursday, Feb. 25th about special needs issues or to share a personal story. A PayPal account will be set up to allow bloggers to raise money to support this special nonprofit. (This also is a way for San Antonio bloggers to flex their muscles for a good cause.)
Jason Teitelman, blogger/social network community manager at BlogCatalog.com, will share with BMPR how BlogCatalog is using its global platform to harness the power of the people.

Many thanks to Van Williams of envision! for livestreaming the #BMPR event. Livestream will be available at: http://envisionfilmvideo.com/live.html
Special notes: Lunch will be $13 CASH only. Please be sure to genuinely RSVP — Morgan’s Wonderland is bearing responsibility for catering minimum requirements and needs an accurate lunch count. The park is located in the old Longhorn Quarry, just northeast of downtown at Thousand Oaks and Wurzbach Parkway — about one mile west of I-35.
