Inclusive Features: Where do I begin?! The rubber surfacing helps with easy mobility, there are accessible swings, chair zipline, merry go round, and so many sensory play areas. There is also a small roller bar slide that helps those with cochlear implants (because it does not make the static electricity like a typical plastic slide.)

Swings: As you can see below, there are a variety of swings. Traditional belt and toddler swings, but also chair options and parent-and-me swings!

Water Features: None.

Unique Features of Willow Bend Park

I may not know what to call this feature, but I can tell you from experience that it is FUN! It is a twirling set of three swings. Similar to a zipline feel, can be done with 1 or 2 friends, swings in, out, and around…it’s a winner in our book!

Willow Bend Park is an all inclusive park, meaning that it is designed for all ages and abilities in mind. There are many features with easy access points for those needing extra help with mobility, including a wheelchair accessible merry-go-round, low entry seated seesaw, and ramps. It has many sensory panels at low height and places where a kid can step away for quieter play. There was a lot of thought put into accessibility throughout the park’s design.

Your kids will not get bored here! There are two ziplines, one shown below and one as a chair. You’ll also find a large play structure, hillside elements, and so much more!

Surrounding Area Highlights

Not only does Willow Bend Park have this amazing playground, it is also home to the Willow Bend Natural Area with ponds, trails, and outdoor recreation. These incredible carvings can be found along the way!
