Gordon Hartman, the developer of ultra-accessible San Antonio theme park Morgan’s Wonderland, will be featured next week on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show highlighting “Rad Dads.”

The Father’s Day-themed installment of the daytime talk show will showcase Hartman’s work to launch and sustain Morgan’s Wonderland in dedication to his daughter Morgan Hartman, who has physical and cognitive special needs.

The episode is scheduled to air at 2 p.m. Monday, June 10.

After amassing a fortune as a homebuilder, Gordon Hartman conceived of Morgan’s Wonderland after seeing his daughter left out on family vacation because other kids were hesitant to play with her. Launched in 2010, the park offers rides and attractions that can be enjoyed by people with and without disabilities. It also admits anyone with a special need free of charge.
