About the Venue

Every Child's Dream Playground is Winona's flagship inclusive playground at Lake Park, created to give children of all ages and abilities a place to play together. The play area spans more than 16,000 square feet and uses slip-resistant poured-in-place rubber surfacing with accessible routes around the site. Official materials note accessible play equipment, separation between younger-child and higher-traffic areas, small-group seating pockets, and improved access to the nearby portable restroom facility. Its lakeside setting and larger footprint make it a better fit for a planned outing than a tiny neighborhood stop.
