Pricing Snapshot
Preston's Playground is Newark's purpose-built all-inclusive playground, created so children of all abilities can play side by side. Official city materials describe it as the city's first all-inclusive park with safe, adaptive equipment, and the project's public materials and official social sources describe a large rubberized play surface at the foot of the Newark Reservoir. The reservoir setting gives families room to pair playground time with a walk, but the main draw here is the adaptive play focus rather than a generic park stop. For North Delaware families looking specifically for inclusive outdoor play, this is one of the region's anchor listings.
