Editor's Take

A strong public-park option for families who want a free, city-run inclusive play stop with enough variety for different ages, even if the published adaptive details are less specific than the best destination parks.

About the Venue

BlueCross Healthy Place at Barfield Crescent Park is Murfreesboro's more inclusive replacement playground at a well-loved city park. The city said the new play area was selected because it better serves all ages and abilities, and official materials highlight a large play area, swings, freestanding play and climbing features, and a Thrive fitness station. This is a better fit for families wanting a free outdoor park visit than a ticketed destination. Expect a broader park setting rather than a tightly contained standalone inclusive playground campus.
