Editor's Take

One of the clearest inclusive playground options in the region, especially if your family wants both play equipment and room for a longer outdoor outing.

About the Venue

Northeast Creek Park's inclusive playground opened in 2019 beside the park's seasonal splash pad and was designed as a play space for all abilities and all ages. Families get a large park setting with benches around the playground, nearby restrooms, picnic shelters, open space, and easy add-on activities like disc golf, ball fields, and the boat and kayak launch. It works especially well for mixed-age visits because younger kids can focus on the playground while older siblings have other room to roam within the larger park.
