Alvarez Park, Santa Clara -- large sections of both structures are ramp-accessible. |
If you can't make it to downtown San Jose or Palo Alto on a daily basis, though, it's good to know that there are already several playgrounds in the South Bay that have structures that are almost entirely (some entirely) ramp-accessible.
Berryessa Creek Park (San Jose) is actually designated as wheelchair-accessible -- see the sign above, and the structure below. |
Parents or kids who use wheelchairs or walkers, or who, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable with stairs or ladders, can access many parts of these structures, and many of the on-structure features (bells, chimes, gears, puzzles, etc.) are specifically accessible to people in wheelchairs. Obviously, these structures are great for crawlers or early walkers too -- a win for everybody!
Here are some of our favorites -- I'm just going off the top of my head here, so this is far from an exhaustive list, but I thought it might be a nice resource for families who prefer or need this type of structure.
Calabazas Park, San Jose -- both the toddler structure (above) and the big kid structure (below) are fully accessible. |
