SummaryFree public playground in Liberty Park once reopened.
AdmissionFree
Rotary Play Park at Liberty Park has long served as Salt Lake City's flagship all-abilities playground and was originally created to honor the 2002 Winter Paralympic Games in Utah. The city closed the older play area for a full makeover in September 2025, with an officially announced summer 2026 reopening timeline for a redesigned inclusive playground. The new plan includes a wheelchair-accessible spin carousel, sensory-friendly areas, shaded seating and picnic areas, a splash zone, sand tables, natural play areas, and adaptive interpretive features for visitors with vision, hearing, and communication differences. Because the playground is not currently open, it should not be treated as available for immediate visits yet.
