About the Venue

Bishop Play Park is a small neighborhood play space in southwest Port Townsend with several practical accessibility features that matter for everyday family use. The city specifically notes an accessible trail leading to the playground, an ADA accessible swing, and additional inclusive play elements added in 2022, including a spin cup and rocker. The park also offers benches, a drinking fountain, open lawn, and a sheltered picnic table, making it an easy stop for younger kids and short neighborhood outings. It is not a large destination park, but it is one of the clearer officially documented accessible playground options currently operating in Port Townsend.
