About the Venue

MacDougal Inclusive Playground is Rockland's first inclusive playground and sits within MacDougal Park on Broadway. The city specifically identifies accessible play equipment, a spinner, swings, and adjacent green space, making it one of the clearest inclusive-play listings in Midcoast Maine. Families can pair playground time with the park's walking track, garden, and orchard for a longer outing. This is a strong pick for mixed-age visits that want a public outdoor play stop with straightforward access and room to move.
