About the Venue

Common Ground Playground at Makino Park is one of the region's strongest destination-style inclusive playgrounds. Official materials describe a fully enclosed playground with specially designed equipment for social and sensory play, including musical instruments, a fully accessible play structure for wheelchairs and mobility devices, a platform swing, an accessible zip line, and a quiet space. The broader park also includes accessible walkways, parking, restrooms, gathering space, and an inclusive mini-pitch soccer field designed with larger doors and special surfaces for wheelchair mobility. Families looking for a high-value all-abilities outing will find more depth here than at a typical neighborhood playground.
