Ford's Pond Inclusive Playground

Ford's Pond Inclusive Playground was designed as a play space for all ages and abilities within the larger Ford's Pond park setting in Sutherlin. Official playground materials highlight wheelchair-accessible features including a sloped-entry fishing pier, an accessible beaver lodge, a We-Go-Round spinner with room for wheelchairs, accessible sidewalks and safety surfacing, a transition platform at the wide slides, and a range of imaginative and sensory-rich play pieces. The site stands out for mixing nature play, musical instruments, water play, and intergenerational elements instead of relying on one standard structure. It works especially well for families who want a scenic destination park visit with accessible play woven into a broader outdoor environment.
