About the Venue

The Miracle League Playground for All at Kennedy Park is one of the strongest inclusive playgrounds in the Pioneer Valley. Holyoke's official parks page says the site includes a fully inclusive, ADA-exceeding playground with wheelchair-accessible structures, therapeutic swings, a whirl, and sensory elements. A regional CPA profile also notes ramps, quiet zones, sensory play, and rubber surfacing, making this a strong choice for families seeking both mobility access and sensory support. Because it sits inside a broader neighborhood park, it works for both shorter playground visits and longer multi-child outings.
