Editor's Take
This is the strongest clearly documented inclusive playground in the Bellingham / Whatcom region right now, especially for families who need ramps, smoother approaches, and a bigger public-park outing.
Best Fit
- Families needing a publicly documented accessible playground layout.
- Mixed-age siblings because the play areas are separated for tots and school-age kids.
- Wheelchair users or kids who do better with paved approaches and ramp access.
- Longer park visits that also need restrooms, parking, picnic tables, and open space.
- Families seeking a fully fenced playground.
- Visits that require heavy tree cover directly over the whole play area.
- Kids who do best in a very small, low-stimulation neighborhood setting.

Pricing Snapshot
Bloedel Donovan Park Playground reopened in 2025 as the City of Bellingham's newest and most accessible playground. Official project materials describe separate tot and school-age areas, adjacent paved access, ramp-accessible elevated features, transfer access, and a swing set with an accessible seat. Because it sits inside a larger lakefront park with restrooms, picnic tables, trails, and parking, it works well for both a focused playground stop and a longer family outing.
