Editor's Take

This is a very usable family choice: newer construction, good core accessibility basics, age-based layout, and a communication support element that many public playgrounds still lack.

About the Venue

La Follette Park's updated playground opened in 2024 with accessibility and inclusion as central design goals. The city confirms rubberized surfacing, a universal swing, lower transfer platforms, two age-based play areas, spinning elements, built-in seating, and a non-verbal communication sign donated by the Fox Valley Autism Treatment Program. This is a practical choice for families wanting a modern neighborhood-to-destination hybrid park with clearer published accessibility features than many smaller local parks.
