The intent of the new playground is that it will use 'universal’ design features. That is, children with disabilities and for children without disabilities. With that being said, are there any other features you would like to see at the playground?

    It is not in Arlington but clemyjontri park in mclean or the Rose park in Washington DC are both amazing examples of an inclusive and adapted park

    It needs to have a rubberized surface (woodchips are too difficult for kids with walker or who have balance issues). Having multiple areas that address different senses would be great such as music, climbing (gross motor), different textures, etc. In order to accomodate all children (and the large numbers of kids in Arlington who will use this park) it should be ramped and the ramps need to be wide.

    I am a pediatric physical therapist and a mom so I have 2 hopes for this playgroud. It is my hope that it becomes a place where children of all ability levels can interact and play together and it be a place that fosters community. I would love to be a part of the organization and development of this park- I have spent time rating and surveying parks in Washington DC and as an Arlington resident I want to see an adaptive park in my home! Thank you in advance for making this an inclusive and universal playground for all kids!
