Beginning this Friday, March 31, children can play on a fully inclusive playground! Accessible play surfacing and a colorful theme boost imaginative play within the fenced playground.
 
Inspired by the NW 8th Avenue Solar Walk public art installation, the new space-themed playground offers physical, social and sensory play experiences for children of all ages and abilities. The playground area now includes a restroom and lighting! The new restroom will be available for use beginning Monday, April 3. Click here to view photos of the new playground.
