About the Venue

Dream Playground at Petzke Park is one of the clearest inclusive-play destinations in the Kenosha–Racine region. The 15,000-square-foot play space was built as Kenosha's first fully accessible playground and includes poured-in-place flooring, bird nest swings, adaptive side-by-side swings, a wheelchair swing, an accessible merry-go-round, Braille and sign-language elements, and separate play areas for ages 2–5 and 5+. Families who need mobility-friendly circulation and a true all-abilities design will find this park much more purpose-built than a standard neighborhood playground.
