About the Venue

Rothfuss Park is one of the strongest official inclusive-playground listings in the Rochester area because the Town of Penfield specifically identifies a dedicated inclusive playground with recycled rubber safety surfacing that is wheelchair accessible. Families also get the broader park setting here: Jack's Place dinosaur-themed play, athletic fields, a perimeter trail, QR Fit Trail, picnic pavilions, and seasonal public restrooms. It works well for mixed-age outings where one child wants a more inclusive play setup and others want room to run, walk, or explore.
