Pricing Snapshot
Jean Preston Memorial Playground in Emerald Isle was developed as a dedicated playground facility on town-owned land near the public boating access area on Bogue Sound. Regional visitor materials describe specialized playground equipment that allows children in wheelchairs to join the fun, making it one of the clearest accessibility-focused playgrounds on the Crystal Coast. Families visiting should expect an outdoor waterfront park stop rather than a fully programmed destination venue, with the biggest draw being inclusive play in a scenic coastal setting.
