The Dahlia Playground is an inclusive playground project at Althaus Park on Signal Mountain led by Hope Included. The official project page says the goal is to create a place where all ages and abilities can play together, while also giving older adults an accessible place to enjoy walking trails or sit in the shade and watch grandchildren play. This is a meaningful local inclusion project with a clear mission, but the official page still describes it as coming soon rather than open. Families should confirm status before planning a visit.
