Editor's Take

About the Venue

Fort Gratiot County Park is primarily known for beach access, but the regional accessibility guide also confirms a playground with an accessible Biggo Solo Swing. That makes it a useful option for families who want a simple accessible play stop combined with shoreline amenities and county park facilities. It is best approached as a park with one notable accessible play feature rather than a fully built-out destination inclusive playground.
