About the Venue

St. Johnsbury School's new playground was completed in 2024 as part of a larger outdoor campus project that added play space, outdoor classrooms, and an amphitheater. The builder's project writeup specifically identifies inclusive playground equipment from Playworld and highlights the Accessible Whirl in use, giving families more concrete evidence of inclusive play design than is typical for many school grounds. Because this is a school-based site, families should expect access to depend on school use and local policies rather than open municipal-park style access.
