The new playground at Hewett Park was built with accessibility in mind.

The updated playground design features accessible play equipment including a bird nest swing, a play house for imaginative exploration, various climbing structures including a transfer station, a sensory garden wall, and equipment for kids of a variety of ages and abilities. Overall, the playground features are designed to appeal to children ages 2 to 12 years old.

In addition, a special bonded rubber fall material has been installed underneath the playground – the surface is easy to navigate for people who use assistive devices and provides a soft surface for all playground users.

There is also a new paved sidewalk extending from W. McMillan Road south to North Oxbow Place.

AMENITY DESCRIPTIONS

    • Garden Sensory Walls
      • Sensory play is crucial to every child’s development and growth.
    • Miracle Museum Dynamics Lab
      • All of the products in the Miracle Museum collection were designed to create a play experience that surprises kids and draws them in for hours of play. The collection was designed with universal play principles, meaning it’s appropriate for all ages and abilities—even caregivers can join in the fun!
    • Accelerator Bird Nest
      • Whether kids ride together or fly solo, Bird’s Nest presents the classic swinging experience in a new modern design. Its flat, circular shape provides an exciting challenge to kids ages 5 – 12 years old, as they must work their balance to gain and maintain momentum. Caregivers or helpful friends can also push riders, allowing kids of varying ability levels to build their proprioception and stimulate the vestibular system.
