About the Venue

Butts Park / North American Squirrel Association Inclusive Park is a true all-abilities public park created through a partnership between NASA and the City of Tomah Parks Department. Official city and nonprofit pages confirm an accessible playground designed especially for physically challenged children, with a wheelchair-friendly poured surface, plus an accessible shelter, bathrooms, and fishing pier. The lakeside setting and level terrain make this a useful stop for families looking for a more relaxed inclusive outing rather than a crowded mega-playground.
