What is the Sensory Garden Playground?

The Sensory Garden Playground is a combination of sensory-integrated playground equipment and amenities along with gardening areas. The 37-acre facility is being developed in phases as funding becomes available.

Help us build the 5 to 12-Year-Old Playground

The racehorse-themed playground continues with bridges and more that will offer more accessible play opportunities like climbing, sliding, and gathering areas.

What’s New?

Accessible Tree House

While the first phase of the tree house has been constructed, additional elements are planned as donations to the project make them possible. The site is generally accessible, however, improvements to the accessibility of the tree house are planned as the project moves forward in the future phase.

Your input and suggestions are welcome as we strive to make this a fun play experience for all.
