Pricing Snapshot
The Kiwanis Inclusive Playground at Rowden Park is a major inclusive playground project underway in Lapeer, designed as a destination play space for all ages and abilities. Official Kiwanis materials describe a nature-inspired layout with a wheelchair-accessible We-Go-Round and We-Saw, inclusive swings including a no-transfer We-Go-Swing, ZipKrooz with supportive seating, communication and learning panels, sensory musical elements, a cozy dome retreat, hillside play, and multiple seating and shade structures. Because the official materials describe the project in future-oriented terms and note that layout revisions are still possible, this listing should be treated as an active developing site rather than a fully verified completed playground.
