Welcome to accessibleplayground.net new Playground Directory.

This directory lists playgrounds that have inclusive and accessible features. Yes, we would all love to have the perfect inclusive playground in our neighborhood. But we know that is not reality. Here you can find the best of the best as well as playgrounds that have added accessible swing seats or other accessible feature.

We know that it is difficult to push a wheelchair through wood mulch (EWF) and we have done our best to let you know about the surfacing.

In the BIO section, you will find a description of the playground. In the NOTES section, you will find information about the park the playground resides.

All of the playgrounds (at the time of publication) are open to the public. Any of the playgrounds located at schools, you can assume are open afterschool and on weekends. You may want to call the school to check on the opening times.

We have done our best to give as much information as we can find to describe the playgrounds. But we cannot visit all of these playgrounds, so please let us know what we are missing by submitting the park using the button below.

Biography From NJ Playgrounds, “This is a wonderful playground and sprayground. Because it is so expansive, this is extremely popular and crowded. My kids were entertained for hours, they loved it. There was a cool sway thing that you can sit in and someone can sway it by moving their body weight. The water table was a big hit, bring your buckets! Also the sand area was alot of fun since there were movable chutes and diggers. Also it is a “boundless” playground so it is handicap accessible.” Excerpt from http://www.monmouthcountyparks.com: “This water-enhanced playground is a great place to be cool and play with water. Located at the Dorbrook Recreation Area, this facility is open 7 days a week beginning May 19 and closes September 9. The Sprayground opens 10am on weekend and holidays and 11am weekdays.
