About Extra Special People, Inc. (ESP)

Extra Special People, Inc. (ESP) was founded in 1986 in Watkinsville, Georgia to create a community of support for individuals of all abilities. Our founder, Martha Wyllie, noticed an unequal amount of opportunities for children with disabilities, beginning ESP as one week of summer camp for only 21 participants. Since our humble beginning, we have grown to now serve over 500 participants from over 30 counties in Georgia through 8 weeks of summer camp, annual after school enrichment programs, and ongoing family support.

This park is the most amazing piece of thoughtful craftsmanship Ive ever seen put into a park for kids with special needs in my life. It is thoughtfully creative and put together with such care and consideration for kids of all ages and abilities I enjoy every mi Ute I spend here with my grandson. I love watching him and all of the other children learn play and discover all of the wonderful tools and activities this playground has to offer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the wonderful creators of this magical place

Extra Special People more commonly referred to as ESP this is an educationalreconstructive space for people with special needs. After volunteering at ESP over the summer of 2021 I can proudly say that the employees as well as the volunteers are completely devoted to giving the people of ESP the time of their lives. In addition to empowering those with special needs ESP has their own coffee company run by those with special needs called Java Joy. It is also worth noting that construction recently finished on the brand-new ESP playground and field. On the days that ESP is out the playground and field is open to the public. The playground is a great place for kids of all ages. There is lots of open space slides tunnels swings a spinning gazebo and a small zipline. Overall ESP is an amazing place for all who visit and I highly recommend you visit it and see what you think.
