About the Venue

Mayo Beach Park Playground is a rare Chesapeake Bay-area option that combines inclusive play with a beach outing. Official county accessibility information notes paved routes to the playground, a ramp into the main play structure, and wheelchair-accessible movement features including an aeroglider and spinner. Families also get accessible parking, accessible restrooms, picnic areas, and seasonal beach access mats nearby, which makes this a strong choice for a half-day outdoor trip. Summer access requires some planning because reservation passes are needed on weekends and holidays and weekday camp operations affect hours in part of the season.
