Morgan’s Inspiration Island spraypark in San Antonio, Texas, was recently nominated for USA Today’s Best New Attraction award.

The park, which opened in June, received Aquatics International’s 2017 Dream Design award, and is part of Morgan’s Wonderland, a 25-acre non-profit amusement park. The facility is named after Morgan Hartman, the daughter of park developers Gordon and Maggie Hartman and his wife. Morgan lives with cognitive and physical disabilities, and the parks cater to those who live with similar conditions.

Every element at the tropically themed park is wheelchair accessible, and anyone with special needs is admitted free of charge.

Morgan’s Inspiration Island is up against 19 other attractions for the USA Today award, including Universal’s Volcano Bay Water Theme Park in Orlando, Fla., and Moxi, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation in Santa Barbara, Calif.

You can vote for your favorite attraction once per day until voting ends on Monday, Jan. 1 at noon EST. The winners will be announced on Friday, Jan. 5 at noon EST.
