About the Venue

Lesley "Les" Miller Jr. All People's Community Park & Life Center is one of the strongest accessible playground options in Tampa for families who need more than basic ADA access. Hillsborough County identifies it as the home of its largest adaptive playground, with an adventure-themed layout, traditional play pieces, rope and rock climbing, musical elements, and synthetic turf. The site also serves as a hub for adaptive sports, after-school programming, summer camp, and other recreation opportunities for people with disabilities, making it especially useful for families who value both inclusive play and ongoing community programming.
