Brendan's Playground in O'Fallon
Discovery Playground in St. Charles

Even during the most fantastic family vacation or exciting road trip, there comes a time when the kids just need to burn off a little energy. Missouri has an extensive network of state, county and city parks, and conservation areas, where kiddos of all ages can just run wild. But we also have something extra. We have playgrounds. Not your father’s playground either. These are playgrounds specially designed for children with disabilities to play like … well, children. They offer barrier-free components and inclusive-play environments where everyone can play together – and they’re found in every corner of the state.
