Pricing Snapshot
Walnut Street Playground is the strongest clearly documented inclusive playground in the New Orleans metro area. Official Audubon materials describe it as an ability- and sensory-inclusive playground with wheelchair-accessible play areas, cross-generational design, and features that support physical, cognitive, visual, and auditory engagement. Families can expect a mix of inclusive elements and conventional play, including a two-way ZipKrooz ride, slides, balance and climbing features, and accessible paths to the nearby Walnut Street Shelter and restrooms. It works especially well for mixed-ability sibling visits in a major destination park setting.
