An inclusive playground is a comfortable, accessible play area accommodating users with various physical, mental and learning abilities. They welcome and engage users, bring communities together, offer a wide variety of activities, making each person feel valued and understood. People with sensory processing disorders, language and auditory challenges, and mobility devices can all enjoy the playground’s diverse design. The purchase and installation of the all-inclusive playground is expected to be considered by the City Council at an upcoming regular business meeting.
