Local Charity We Too! and Codona’s Amusement Park continued their partnership working this weekend, with the region's very first Dream Night.
The teams behind the project capped the number of guests attending and operated the outdoor Amusement Park at 10% capacity to allow for a quieter and relaxed environment. With no music playing and without crowds, the evening was specifically designed for children with disabilities and their families.
Guests were able to enjoy all the outdoor rides and go karts in the exclusive session on Sunday, July 2, which also saw some families experiencing the complex for the first time.
"We are absolutely thrilled about the success of Dream Night, as a first for both We Too! and Codona's, we are excited for our future plans and can't wait to build further on what we've achieved together so far," said Phionna McInnes of We Too!
Sarah Yuile who attended the event with her family explained, “My son had an amazing, stress-free evening and got to try loads of different rides he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to wait for, or handle being amongst large crowds.”
The evening allowed We Too! to continue their fundraising efforts, with all ticket sales for the night being donated to the charity.
Gillian Gallan, General Manager of Codona’s said, “We are very proud to work alongside the team at We Too! and it has been a great privilege for us to be a part of this very special event with them. The teams have worked tirelessly during the planning stages of the event, and it was amazing to see everyone’s work come together to deliver a successful event.”
