Kiwanis Club of St. Joseph-Benton Harbor

Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of St. Joseph-Benton Harbor. We are an eclectic mix of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds, and interests. We are all passionate about making our community and the world a better place for children so they can thrive.

Kaleidoscope Playground To Open in St. Joseph, MI

A Grand Opening celebration is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. on June 30, 2025, for the addition of handicapped-accessible playground equipment.  The event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5 p.m., along with face painting, food, treats, music, tours of the playground’s features, and prizes.

Funded by the Kiwanis Club of St Joseph/Benton Harbor and several other donors, the Kaleidoscope Playground at Kiwanis Park reflects the idea that “everybody sees the world differently.”

The main components include a merry-go-round that accommodates a wheelchair alongside regular seats, a double zipline with extra support for children with disabilities to participate alongside their able-bodied peers, a ramped structure featuring a climbing tower and a wheelchair-accessible tunnel, musical instruments for children to play, swings, and a toddler section.

All are invited to attend and participate in this celebration, and to return again and again to enjoy the facilities.

Our club also supports three active area Key Clubs and hosts several fundraising events each year. We are always seeking new members and invite you to explore our site to learn more and reach out for further information. Our meetings are open to anyone interested in learning more about our organization. We hope to see you soon!
