Remember when you were a kid and your parents took you to your favorite playground? There was the thrill of the curvy slides and poles, playing in the sand, pretending you were captain of a ship or hiding out in a fort, etc. My favorite was always the swings. The thing about playgrounds of the past, though, was that not everyone could enjoy them. Thankfully, that has changed a lot. Many playgrounds are being created or renovated to be a place for every child to enjoy. This inclusive playground in Los Angeles is the ultimate example of a space that doesn’t leave anyone out of the fun. Check it out!

Shane’s Inspiration is a California-based non-profit organization that has partnered with Landscape Structures to build accessible and inclusive playgrounds, not only here in Southern California, but around the world.

What makes this park so inclusive? Take, for example, the freestanding play elements like the We-Go-Round and OmniSpin, which feature options for sitting and standing as well as a flush base that accommodates wheelchairs.
