Outdoor public park playground.Price
FreeCoughlin Saunders Inclusive Playground was created as a public playground designed for children with physical disabilities, autism, cognitive impairment, and sensory processing differences while remaining open to all families. Official city materials describe slide transfer decks for wheelchair users, a Rock N Raft with wheelchair access, multiple swing types, musical elements, a sensory wave climber, roller slide, and a sensory wave seat. It sits at the Bringhurst Field site near the Cabrini Pediatric Therapy Center, making it especially useful for families seeking an outdoor option with intentional inclusive design rather than a standard neighborhood play structure.
