About the Venue

The all-inclusive playground at Verne Cox Multipurpose Recreation Center sits within one of the most disability-focused recreation campuses in the Houston area. The center serves youth and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities and pairs the playground with ADA-accessible facilities, restrooms, pool access, activity rooms, sports facilities, and year-round adaptive recreation programming. It is especially useful for families who value a supportive setting and broader adaptive-recreation context, even though the city publishes fewer playground-specific equipment details than some newer sites.
