AdmissionFree
Magical Bridge Playground in Santa Clara's Central Park is a thoughtfully built inclusive playground with strong public detail on how the space works for different families. The site uses the park's natural hills to create three tiers of play and includes a custom two-story playhouse and stage, quiet hideaway huts, an innovation zone with a laser harp, bucket and disk swings, an accessible sway experience, an accessible carousel, sensory slides with slide-and-sit landings, smooth meandering pathways, picnic areas, and nearby adult fitness equipment. The perimeter also includes hammocks for quieter breaks, which adds a welcome regulation option for longer visits. This is one of the region's more complete all-ages inclusive playground experiences.
