About the Venue

Hazel Miller Universally Accessible Playground is a newer accessible play destination inside Ballinger Park in Mountlake Terrace. The city describes it as a universally accessible playground and places it within a 55-acre regional park near the light rail station, Interurban Trail, Lakeview Trail, and waterfront amenities. That larger-park context makes it a strong choice for families who want more than a quick playground stop. It is especially appealing for mixed-age outings, stroller and mobility-aid users, and families pairing playtime with walking trails or lakefront time.
