Accessible Playgrounds

All Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment playgrounds are accessible.  Every park playground has either accessible engineered wood fiber playground surfacing, or poured-in-place rubber playground surfacing, or a combination of both surfaces.  Each City playground is unique and allows accessible by wheelchair access within the playground,  to access ground level play events, activity panels and/or independent play items, and swings.  Accessibility onto the play structure is accomplished by either ramps or require an individual to transfer out of their wheelchair onto the play structure by a transfer station.  Playgrounds are constructed to allow children and their caregivers to use the play equipment together. Adult supervision on the playground is recommended.  The following City parks have accessible playgrounds with poured-in-place rubber playground surfacing and may include access ramps onto the play structure, except as notes below.  Other unique accessible play equipment or park amenities are listed for each park, and each park has accessible drinking fountains and site furniture.
