This public playground is specifically designed to allow children with special needs to experience the joy of playing outdoors on the same equipment with typically developing children. Features that make Melaina’s Magical Playland all-inclusive and accessible include: flat, rubber safety surfacing other than mulch or pea-gravel, allowing for easier access for those using wheelchairs, walkers or with other mobility challenges; swings with extra back and arm support; a ramping system to allow access to higher elements of the play structure; a variety of activity play panels, utilizing some Braille or other sensory components; shaded structures/awnings throughout the area; metal slides for users of cochlear implant devices, handicapped accessible restrooms and parking; safety fencing.
