Possibilities Playground at Butterfield Crossing Park

Project Scope Imagine a universally designed, sensory-rich environment that enables children of all abilities to develop physically, socially and emotionally. With your help, this vision may soon become a reality at Butterfield Crossing Park in Castle Rock.

space to serve users of all ability levels. Looking at the statistics for individuals with cognitive and developmental disabilities, along with information on inclusive playgrounds in the Denver-metro area left the Foundation feeling that same desire.

The Castle Rock Parks and Trails Foundation is joining forces with the Parks and Recreation Department to maximize already planned renovation work. The department’s Capital Improvement Plan has identified the need for upgrades, and 2022 priorities will focus on addressing safety and life-cycle replacement. The Foundation is hoping to use this timing as an opportunity to enhance the park beyond renovation work with the Possibilities Playground.

Visitation data from inclusive playgrounds nationwide indicates that because the disabled population is so underserved when it comes to outdoor recreating opportunities, visitors travel well beyond the distance of their local neighborhood park to ensure play is available for folks of all ability levels.

Survey results from the planning phase of this renovation project demonstrated a collectively strong desire to create a playground and shared community

The goal of this inclusive playground will be for visitors of all ages and abilities to be able to play, be challenged and have fun together. Read on to learn how you can help children of all abilities interact with one another and do what every child wants to do: play.

Elements of Inclusive Play The pieces of equipment listed below are designed specifically to engage children of all abilities to play together. Three important elements of inclusive playground equipment include physical accessibility, age and developmental appropriateness, and sensory-stimulating activity. These elements combine to create an inclusive-play environment for all ages and abilities and a playground that meets a wide variety of needs and interests.

We-Go-Round

Roller Table

Multidimensional movements like spinning and rotating supply children’s brains with valuable, complex and proprioceptive information. This connects input from head and body position in space, helping children maintain proper body posture and balance while they play. The We-Go-Round is fully wheelchair accessible and promotes fun interaction by having all users face each other.

Rolling horizontally lets children slide back and forth on all sides of their bodies, providing much needed sensory stimulation through the application of deep-muscle pressure from the steel rollers. Balance, coordination, flexibility and motor-planning are all practiced while using the Roller Table.

Two Bay 50’ ZipKrooz

We-Go Swing with Accessible Bay

ZipKrooz provides every child with the linear experience of flying. With its unique track trolley system and comfortable seat suspended by a rubber-wrapped chain, ZipKrooz is engineered for exceptional comfort and safety. Sensory, motor skill, cognitive and social/emotional skills are all utilized on the ZipKrooz.

The back-and-forth movement of swinging provides a child’s nervous system with a wealth of visual, vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation as they learn how their bodies move in space. The We-Go Swing promotes social interaction for a truly inclusive experience by encouraging multiple users to work together while swinging.

The Butterfield Crossing Park Renovation project is a priority for the Castle Rock Parks and Trails Foundation, an independent 501c3 that works to enhance Castle Rock’s parks and trails and maximize the community’s recreational experiences. Established in 2012, the Foundation is a residentled advocacy group, brought together by their collective desire to create educational and enjoyable recreational experiences. To learn more, visit PossibilitiesPlayground.org or scan the QR code.

The Complete Picture To better understand what’s driving the Possibilities Playground at Butterfield Crossing Park, let’s take a closer look at the population the completed playground is intended to serve. Understanding this data is crucial because people with disabilities consist of the nation’s largest minority group, as well as the only group that any of us can become a member of at any time.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION LEAVE NO TRACE AWARENESS WORKSHOP Hike a local natural area and discuss ways hikers and campers can avoid or reduce negative impacts on nature. While most of us don’t intend to harm our natural surroundings, we may not be aware or considering the outcome of decisions we make in the wild. Learn the seven Leave No Trace principles, and the science behind them. This is perfect if you are new to hiking and camping! We will play games, discuss Leave No Trace principles and do some hiking with plenty of water and ways to cool off. You will walk away with even more love and respect for these outdoor spaces than you already had as well as an Leave No Trace awareness certificate. Note: Instructor will notify participants of location prior to class. Ages: 12+ Date: June 5 Day/time: Sunday, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Fee: $30 Location: The Pavilion at Philip S. Miller Park
