Read more about this location
Riverside Park Playground is one of the clearest accessible playground fits in the Yankton / Southeast region because the City of Yankton explicitly identifies the park and play area as ADA accessible. Families get an accessible play structure with swings, artificial turf under the play area, public restrooms, shelters, trail connections, and a broad riverfront park setting that supports longer mixed-age outings. The surrounding park also adds an ADA-accessible fishing pier, boat ramp area, open lawns, and a direct connection to the Meridian Pedestrian Bridge and Auld-Brokaw Trail System.
