Pricing Snapshot
Hawthorne Park is part of Billings Parks and Recreation's city playground system and is widely referenced as the city's first inclusive playground. While the city does not publish a detailed feature-by-feature accessibility spec for this specific park on the main playground page, the department states that its new playground designs include ADA-accessible routes and inclusive elements such as sensory and musical play features. For local families in the Heights, Hawthorne is the more convenient everyday option compared with destination-style Landon's Inclusive Playground.
