About the Venue

Leo's Landing Inclusive Playground is a standout destination play space inside Saluda Shoals Park designed for children and adults of all abilities. The playground blends inclusive access with nature play, offering a wheelchair platform swing, high-back and bucket swings, a sound garden, ramp-connected play structures, a decompression area, a zip line with adaptive seating options, and shaded picnic areas. Families who need a broad range of movement, sensory, and social play options will find more variety here than at a typical neighborhood park. It works especially well for longer outings thanks to restrooms, misting stations, party shelter options, and the larger park setting around it.
