Pricing Snapshot
Mahoney Inclusive Playground is Lincoln's first fully inclusive playground and a true destination-style play space built for children, caregivers, and adults of varied abilities to use together. Official plans highlight multilevel accessible-surface play areas, a fully accessible central structure, swing and sway features, water play, music elements, nature and respite zones, benches, covered gathering space, concrete walking paths, and nearby parking. The nearby restroom was remodeled for family access and includes an adult changing table, which is an especially meaningful detail for some families planning longer outings. Because the playground is fenced and organized into distinct zones, it works well for mixed-age visits and for kids who need different sensory or activity levels in the same trip.
