All-Inclusive Playground

All-Inclusive Playground at Laman Plaza

The City of North Little Rock is building an all-inclusive park at the Laman Plaza. The park is a high quality, universally designed play space on the footprint of the old water fountain. This playground can accommodate up to 269 children at a time. Poured-in-place rubber surfacing makes the playground wheelchair accessible. The main play structure is wheelchair accessible and the playground will also provide a wheelchair accessible merry-go-round and an inclusive swing.

This project is a win for the City of North Little Rock. The Laman Plaza, all-inclusive playground creates an inclusive playground for the Laman Library and North Little Rock Parks & Recreation Department. The location of the all-inclusive playground between the library and North Little Rock Community Center will provide better services for our constituents. This project improves access to play for children with disabilities and 200+ children and teens that come from local low-income neighborhoods every day to use our library as a community center. We envision this space will be a destination for families, building community across economic barriers and abilities. The space will transform an underutilized park into a beautiful park for families of all demographics, who can spend the day going between the library and the park/playground for free. The space is on the bus route making it accessible for everyone.

There are many soccer tournaments held throughout the year at our 17-field soccer complex in Burns Park. Most recent was the Showcase of the South Girls Tournament.
