About the Venue

Julie's Jungle is a purpose-built accessible playground in Hopewell Junction created to welcome children of all abilities. Official materials describe a 16,000-square-foot accessible playground paired with a 5,500-square-foot accessible serenity garden, making it one of the clearest all-abilities destinations in the Hudson Valley. Families looking for broad mobility access, open-ended outdoor play, and a calmer decompression space will likely find it worth the trip. It works especially well for mixed-age visits that need more than a standard neighborhood play set.
