Children's Park is a long-loved Hood River play spot that was rebuilt with a larger footprint, two age-appropriate structures, and more accessible features than the original park. Official city materials describe over 50 play elements, increased ADA compliance, wheelchair accessibility, restrooms, a covered basketball court, and lawn space. For families wanting a central neighborhood playground rather than a destination mega-park, this is one of the clearest inclusive-play candidates in the Columbia Gorge.
