About the Venue

Crosier Park in Hastings is home to the city's inclusive playground, a public play area designed to improve access for children with disabilities. Reporting based on city information confirms a poured-in-place rubber surface, accessible route from parking to the playground, two ramps into the structure, a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round, and an adaptive swing. The park also includes restrooms, a shelter, and ball diamonds, so it works well for everyday family visits and sibling outings. It is especially appealing for families who prioritize wheelchair-friendly access and smoother surfacing in a traditional outdoor park setting.
