Planning a Party or Event at Jonathan’s Dream?

If you would like to host a party or event at Jonathan’s Dream, please book in advance through our website.
We kindly ask that no events be held at the playground without a prior reservation. This helps us maintain a clean, safe, and enjoyable environment for all visitors.

Our goal is to ensure that:
Tables remain available for the general public (many families travel from far away to enjoy the playground).
Food stays contained to the pavilion area to prevent bees and bugs and to keep the playground clean.
Jonathan’s Dream is a non-profit playground. All funds raised through party bookings directly support daily and long-term maintenance of the playground.

Please be considerate of others and make sure to reserve your event in advance. 
Thank you for your cooperation!

Hours & Info

The playground opens daily from 8:00am to sunset

Please help us keep the playground open and clean by not leaving any garbage behind.  Food and beverages are ONLY allowed in the pavilion area.

The original Jonathan’s Dream, inspired by the Barzach family of West Hartford and built-in 1996 as the first Boundless Playground, created an inclusive, accessible play space for families and children of all abilities. The new Jonathan’s Dream extends this legacy with an engaging playground that keeps children of all ages and abilities active and moving.

You can see Jonathan’s Dream Reimagined donor plaques on the entry arch when you visit and through the links below. The original Jonathan’s Dream plaques from 1996-2012 were lovingly transcribed and – where possible – photographed. You can see them in the links below. You can also find some of them in colorful sculptures in Jonathan’s Dream.
