  • Follow Local Health Guidelines from the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department.
  • Clean and disinfect items you intend to sell.
  • Consider having wipes or hand sanitizer available to shoppers.
  • Spread items out as much as possible so shoppers can maintain a  safe distance from each other.
  • Consider using a mobile payments service to request money or pay for your items, such as Venmo.
  • Wear masks and maintain a 6-foot physical distance from other participants.
  • Only touch or pick up items you are seriously interested in purchasing.
  • If you buy an item, clean it before bringing it into your home.

Parents For Joy is a group of parents, families, and friends who have children with special needs. The group formed around the idea of creating a playground that would enhance the safety and involvement of children with special needs such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, Sensory Processing Disorders, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Visual Impairment, just to name a few. After six years of work, Joy Playground, located at 6699 Traffic Way, Atascadero opened in April 2019. ​
