FreePirnie Inclusive Playground at Ryder Park is a major inclusive play destination in Grand Island created from a Central Community College OTA student concept and built to serve children of all abilities.

Its location inside Ryder Park adds picnic shelters and other park amenities nearby, making it a good choice for longer family outings rather than a quick stop. Families who want a broad, community-centered inclusive play space in central Nebraska should keep this one high on the list.
