About the Venue

Kiwanis Miracle Playground at Olsen Park is one of the strongest inclusive-play options in the Wilmington area and sits next to the Miracle Field managed by ACCESS of Wilmington. Official city and ACCESS materials describe it as Wilmington’s largest accessible playground, built for broad mobility access and supported by accessible restrooms, spectator areas, parking, and picnic shelter amenities. Families looking for a bigger outing with room to move, watch sports, and stay awhile will likely find this one of the region’s best bets. It works especially well for mixed-age groups and children who need smooth surfacing and predictable access routes.
