About the Venue

Valley Park Inclusive Playground is part of Putnam County Parks' larger Valley Park campus in Hurricane. The official parks site describes it as an all-inclusive playground created so children of all abilities can share the same recreational experience, and the broader park adds walking trails, picnic shelters, a fishing pond, sports fields, and other family amenities. This works best for families who want a free outdoor play stop with room to move beyond a single structure. Because the site confirms inclusion but does not publish a full equipment-by-equipment spec sheet, families with very specific adaptive needs may still want to preview photos before visiting.
