World's largest inclusive playground?

Yes, you read that correctly. The project's centerpiece is a 55,000 sqft playground featuring elements that will ensure inclusion for all children of different abilities to interact. The Post and Courier reports that nearly 85% of the playground is covered in shade and features canopy shades and a section with water misters.

Park Circle Reimagined is now open to the public, and the calendar for reservations and booking for the new facility is scheduled to open starting Jan. 2, 2024.
