Read more about this location
Schooner Creek Discovery Park Playground is a purpose-built inclusive play destination in Lincoln City and the first public playground of its kind on the Oregon Coast. Official city materials highlight accessible surfacing throughout, companion seating for wheelchair users, an accessible path to the top of the play hill, an accessible slide with dignity landing, transfer access on the climber, inclusive swings, a ground-level spinner, communication boards, musical play, and cozy quieter spots for regulation breaks. Families looking for a genuinely thoughtful all-abilities stop will find stronger accessibility detail here than at a typical park listing. It already works well as a visit on its own, and more park amenities are being added as later phases open.
