Coy Park Playground is a neighborhood-scale Terre Haute play space that was recently renewed around accessibility. Official city fundraising and announcement materials describe the project as a new accessible playground for children of all ages and abilities, and local coverage specifically mentions a sensory dome along with updated swings and other equipment. This is a better fit for a shorter neighborhood-style visit than a half-day destination outing, but it stands out for adding sensory-rich play to a smaller park footprint.
