Wyndham Worldwide Supports the Alliance for Morris County Parks and its All-Access Playground

Wishes by Wyndham, the philanthropic foundation of Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE:WYN), one of the world’s largest hospitality companies, is helping families in Morris County and the surrounding area through a donation to the Alliance for Morris County Parks for its All-Access Playground at Central Park of Morris County in Parsippany.

Fully accessible to all children, the state-of-the-art playground offers more than 10,000 square feet of fun activity to be usable by children with disabilities, allowing them to play side-by-side with their typically developing friends and siblings.

“Wyndham Worldwide is a family-oriented company, and we are committed to helping our customers make great memories, spend quality time with their families and have fun together,” said Mary Falvey, executive vice president and chief human resources officer, Wyndham Worldwide. “We are thrilled to support the Alliance for Morris County Parks and be a part of such an impactful program, and to provide this opportunity to many families in our community.”

Volunteers from Wyndham Worldwide and the community helped assemble and build the playground Thursday-Saturday, November 21- 23.

“It was a magical moment of finally assembling and building the playground that was made possible by so many who value all children,” said Denise Lanza, executive director, Morris County Parks Alliance. “Without compassionate and dedicated partners like Wyndham Worldwide, who gave their time, energy and resources, this playground would not be possible.”

The Alliance for Morris County Parks is a New Jersey non-profit, supporting the activities and programs of the Morris County Park Commission since 1998. The Alliance has supported the construction of many park amenities, picnic shelters and memorial gardens throughout Morris County.
