We are on a heartfelt mission to raise $175,000 to build a beautiful Pavilion to be named "Annie's Place", that will enhance the inclusive playground named in memory of Ann Eisemann — a beloved woman whose passion for community and compassion for all children helped make the playground a reality. Located adjacent to the Ann Eisemann Inclusive Playground in Cottonwood Park, Richardson, this final addition will honor her legacy by expanding the joy, comfort, and connection the playground already brings to countless families.
The pavilion will be more than a shelter. It will be a space for parents and grandparents to rest as they watch their children laugh and play. It will offer teachers a welcoming outdoor classroom, provide cover from the Texas sun and spring rains, and serve as a special place for families of all abilities to come together for picnics, birthday parties, and quiet moments of connection.
Since 1985, our Rotary Club (fondly known as the “fun” club) has made it our mission to give back to the Richardson community through meaningful, sustainable projects. In 2019, with generous support from donors like you, we proudly opened the Ann Eisemann Inclusive Playground; a joyful, accessible space that welcomes children of all abilities. That project, over a million dollars strong, became our signature achievement. But we’re not quite done.....
With your support, we can MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. And in late spring or early summer 2026, we hope you’ll join us as we cut the ribbon on this beautiful pavilion. A space built by community, for community.
