Editor's Take

This is one of the clearest officially documented inclusive playground projects on the peninsula, with real access planning instead of a vague accessibility claim.

About the Venue

Margaret Kirner Park is a neighborhood playground in Sequim that the city is actively redesigning as a universally accessible inclusive play space. Public project materials describe a central play zone that combines formerly separate areas, a 6-foot paved loop for circulation and caregiver supervision, seating, swings, and age-separated play for younger and older kids. Sequim's capital project page also confirms ADA-compliant fall surfacing and related park access upgrades, including improved sidewalks and an ADA-compliant bathroom as part of the project scope. This is best treated as a strong near-term inclusive playground listing because the city has published both the accessibility intent and the physical design direction.
