Nichols Park Inclusive Playground

Nichols Park is home to Springfield's largest universal playground and was upgraded with a clearly documented inclusive design. Project information describes a fully ramped play structure with integrated shade, sensory panels, a sensory climber with adaptive switch technology, a Merry-Go-ALL, spinning seat, arch saucer swing, and poured-in-place rubber safety surfacing. For families, that adds up to one of the strongest publicly documented accessible playground options in the Springfield area, with picnic seating and a reservable pavilion right beside the play zone.
