Atlas Perspective

Editor's Take

This is best viewed as an inclusion-improved neighborhood park: the communication board is genuinely useful, even if the playground itself is not a full adaptive destination build.

About the Venue

Orchard Park is not marketed as a full all-abilities destination playground, but it stands out in the Spokane-area region because the City of Liberty Lake installed a Smarty Symbols communication board directly between the splash pad and playground to improve communication access. That makes it a meaningful inclusive-play stop for families with children who use visual supports, AAC-style prompting, or benefit from language scaffolding during play. The park is a strong warm-weather neighborhood option thanks to the close pairing of splash-pad and playground activity. Families who need extensive adaptive equipment should view it as a supportive community park rather than a fully specialized inclusive playground.
