Pricing Snapshot
Woodridge Park is one of Columbia's clearest purpose-built inclusive playgrounds, created with nearby families from the Ronald McDonald House, Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and Women's and Children's Hospital in mind. The playground includes a fence enclosure, poured-in-place rubber surfacing, ramps to all levels, ground-level roller slides for sensory input, musical therapy play features, and a group swing. A short hard-surface trail loops through the wooded park, and the city added two ADA parking spaces next door with a sidewalk connection to improve access.
