About the Venue

Fontainebleau State Park's all-inclusive playground is one of the strongest accessible play destinations on the Northshore. Official state park materials describe a 7,300-square-foot playground with a safety surface, accessible ramps, a wheelchair-accessible together glider, a tactile roller slide, and an inclusive swing seat. Families can combine playground time with the park's beach, water playground, trails, cabins, pavilions, and an all-terrain track wheelchair program, making this a particularly useful option for mixed-ability outings.
