About the Venue

Hope Playground for Everyone at Sam Johnson Park is Central Oregon's best-known inclusive destination playground. The City of Redmond described it at opening as the largest accessible and inclusive playground in the Northwest, created through a grassroots community effort and built to accommodate hundreds of children with features including swings, slides, a climbing wall, and a zip line. Secondary destination coverage also highlights wheelchair-accessible features and strong all-abilities design, making this the clearest must-include listing for Redmond families seeking a higher-variety inclusive outing.
