This is a beautiful, excellently well-designed playground! It seems BRAND NEW (we visited in March of 2025)-- everything is clean and perfect. The main play structure is surrounded by a fence with 2 gates (I think). On top of that, near the parking lot there is an addition area, also fenced with a gate, that seems to be for dogs to hang out/play. I liked it mostly for the added layer of fence and gate before the parking lot! The intentional and universal design of this playground makes it accessible for kids and caregivers of all different abilities! Because it works to be used by kids of varying physical abilities, this playground has many features that I've rarely, if ever, seen at other parks. My preschooler was able to run around and tackle almost every element of the play structures, but what was really awesome was that my little one, still a crawler, was also able to access much of the play structure due to the use of ramps. There are a good number of benches around the play area for caregivers, which is great! A great area in the corner features beautiful interactive musical elements (giant xylophones/glockenspiel)-- all parts were, as of our visit, intact! The sounds of these instruments is lovely; not too loud, and very soothing. That area is covered with a 'floating' canvas(?) canopy, which would be great on a blazing summer day. There is also a built-in ping pong table! Wonderful park. You'd never stumble upon it randomly, it is deep in a neighborhood. Right next to it is a huge field for playing games and sports. Highly recommend!

This great little park has a decent parking area. It is relatively a new location built with special needs individuals in mind. We enjoyed the musical type interactive sculptures they installed. Dr Bruce and his friend enjoyed creating music sounds. He also had a lengthy time on the swings. My only concern in warmer months this summer will be the very limited amount of shade for both assisted individuals and staff. It will be very warm on future summer visits.

Great place for kids of all ages. Has a fenced in area and is updated! Lacks shade but has several benches for adults to sit on within playground.

It’s so nice to see inclusion for children who need wheelchairs. The majority of the parking lot is reserved for handicap only, and there are ramps/swings for wheel chairs to mount. This is a great place for special needs kids and ambulatory kids to play together with no one being left out. What a great contribution to our neighborhood!
