Read more about this location
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.
