About the Venue

City/County Park in Nicholasville has a handicap accessible playground and a newer all-inclusive playground refresh designed to place accessible features right in the middle of traditional play. Public reporting and the official parks department both point to inclusive elements here, including an inclusive swing and accessible play integrated with the larger playground rather than separated off to the side. Families can also expect a broad community-park setting with courts, fields, a walking track, picnic shelter, parking, benches, and a dog park nearby.
