About the Venue

Ross Gold Park is one of the clearest fit-for-purpose accessible playground listings in the Carson City / Carson Valley region. Carson City and statewide inclusion materials identify it as an inclusive playground, and the 2019 rebuild was described by the city as its first universally accessible playground with ADA parking improvements. Families get a full park setting here rather than a single play pad: paved paths, a covered picnic shelter, restrooms, open lawn, fishing pond access, and nearby sports courts make it work well for siblings and longer outings.

Accessibility & Comfort

These details reflect published sources and dated reports, not an ADA inspection. Confirm the specific supports and barriers that matter for your visit.

SummaryRoss Gold Park was identified by Carson City as the city's first universally accessible playground and appears on Nevada's statewide inclusive parks and playgrounds list.
