Read more about this location
Lincoln Park Accessible Playground is the strongest clearly documented inclusive playground in the Duluth / North Shore region. City of Duluth sources describe the rebuilt play area as the first fully accessible playground in the city, set within a major 37-acre park with accessible trails, a new nature playscape, ADA-compliant restrooms, two parking lots, picnic areas, and a restored stone pavilion. Families looking for an outdoor destination-style visit will appreciate the mix of play, paved paths, and room to spread out. Because it sits inside a larger historic park rather than a tightly contained tot lot, it works especially well for mixed-age outings and longer stays.
