About the Venue

Quincy Park Playground was designed as Arlington's first playground to incorporate state-of-the-art Universal Design elements. Official county materials describe a wheelchair ramp to the top of the slide area, swings that support heavier bodies so caregivers can swing alongside children, quieter areas for people with sensory sensitivities, softer surfacing, integrated fencing and gates, shaded picnic tables, and water fountains with bottle fillers. It works well for families who want a thoughtfully planned inclusive urban park rather than a giant regional destination.
