Fun for All

The City of University Place inaugurated its new Inclusive Playground at Cirque Park on August 28, offering a safe and engaging space for children of all abilities. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, local officials, including State Sen. T'wina Nobles, emphasized the importance of inclusive community spaces. The playground features accessible equipment, such as ramps and swings, catering to children with varying mobility and sensory needs. Its cushioned rubberized surface allows safe access for children in wheelchairs or with impaired vision.

The project received substantial support from the University Place Parks and Recreation Foundation and other donors, showcasing community collaboration. This playground not only promotes play but also fosters social interaction among children with diverse abilities. Local officials view this development as a crucial step in enhancing recreational access in the city. The Inclusive Playground sets a standard for future projects focused on inclusivity and accessibility in public spaces.
