Play for All

by Candice Temple

The latest addition to the City’s Recreation amenities is causing quite a flurry at Gardens Park! On the corner next to the Miracle League Baseball Field, children of all abilities have a new way to play. Completed in December 2021, the baseball themed playground was constructed on a special poured in place poly rubber surface making is optimal for both rolling on wheels and a softer landing.

On-site, it doesn’t take long to see that the Oodle Swing is a big hit. The swing’s size allows for a lot of versatility, from swinging multiple children at once to swinging while lying down for those who are unable to sit unsupported. And although the focus is play for children ages 2-12, the entire playground has a therapeutic quality that stimulates the senses and develops cognitive, motor & social skills. Open Dawn to Dusk.
