About the Venue

Capitol Park is a strong all-abilities option in downtown Juneau after a major city-led reconstruction. Official Juneau project materials confirm ADA accessible playground equipment, safety surfacing, concrete paths through the park, fencing, entry porticos, a picnic area, and an upper paved walkway with views over Juneau. Its downtown location, nearby childcare use, and mix of play and open space make it especially practical for families who want an accessible playground close to the waterfront and business district.
