Editor's Take

Best regional pick when you want a public park that pairs confirmed accessible playground equipment with real family amenities instead of just open grass.

About the Venue

Mentock Park is one of the clearest inclusive-play fits in the Cody area because the City of Cody specifically notes ADA-accessible playground equipment on its official park page. Families also get practical amenities that make longer visits easier, including public restrooms, picnic tables, barbecue grills, a reservable shelter, and a seasonal splash pad. The park is best for mixed-age outings since the site also includes open space and a large skate park, but the inclusive value comes from the accessible play equipment and easy family logistics.
