Read more about this location
The PNC Playground at Promenade Park pairs inclusive play with one of Fort Wayne's most amenity-rich public spaces. The city describes the playground as fully accessible, and the broader park offers paved routes, accessible restrooms, dining areas, trails, and a sensory-inclusive program that includes KultureCity sensory bags and a designated quiet area in the Betsy Chapman Garden. This is a particularly good fit for families who want playground time plus room to walk, snack, and extend the outing along the riverfront. Because it sits in a busy downtown park, stimulation and crowd levels can vary widely by event schedule and season.
