About the Venue

Dan Markson Park is one of the clearest official fits for an inclusive playground listing in the San Antonio metro. The City of San Antonio describes it as specially designed for people with special needs, with an Inclusive Whirl, Accelerator Swing, colorful sensory panels, audio-feedback musical instruments, large shade canopy, accessible benches, picnic tables, drinking fountain, and an ADA-accessible restroom with an adult changing table. It also connects directly to the Maverick Creek Greenway, which can make it a good longer outing for families who want both playground time and a walk or roll afterward.

Accessibility & Comfort
