Playground Features:
We-Go-Swing
Wheelchair accessible platform allows those in chairs to experience the thrill of swinging. It elements the need for transfer and promotes social interaction.
Multidirectional Oodle Swing
Interactive swing with seating for up to six children. It includes rubber safety bumpers and hangs at a height that is prime for wheelchair interaction or an easy transfer point (pictured on our cover).
Assisted Zip Krooz
Experience the thrill of flying with this zip line feature that includes a molded bucket seat with lock-in-place harness.
Roller Table
Think of it as modified monkey bars or an alt-slide. Users pull the rings overhead to move themselves along the rollers from one end to the other.
OmniSpin
This “merry-go-round” knows no bounds! Featuring high-backed seats and optimal height for transfer points, it is surface mounted and comes equipped with a speed limiter for safety.
BondFlex Poly Rubber Surface
This poured-in-place surfacing system is slip resistant and impact absorbing while creating a unitary flat surface that allows wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches to move easily. As a bonus, this playground features baseball images.
LOCATION: 4301 Burns Road Palm Beach Gardens
