Inclusive Playground For All Children Opens In Huntington

A new playground accessible for children with different physical abilities opened in Huntington last week.

The Harborfields Community Playground in Pickle Park, which opened last week, was inclusively built for children of all physical abilities, the town said.

The playground offers children between 2 and 12 a diverse array of equipment, including slides, riders, play panels, swings, and climbers. Special inclusive elements include a cushioned, rubberized surface, accessible swings, double-wide wheelchair ramps, a feature specifically designed for children with sensory sensitivities, a rocking element that can accommodate both wheelchairs and seated children, and a new accessible walkway that connects the playground to nearby streets.
