Madison’s Place Accessible Playground

Madison’s Place is an all-inclusive playground with sun-shaded play decks, swings, sensory play equipment and ramps for wheelchair access. The playground was brought to life through the Madison Claire Foundation whose continuing mission is to set a standard for how people think about and plan for inclusive play. They hope this will be the first of many inclusive playgrounds.

Splash Pad at Health Fairview Sports Center

During the summer season (Memorial Day to Labor Day), Health Fairview has a free splash pad with two platforms — a larger platform with dumping buckets, nozzles and flower showers, and a smaller platform for smaller children. The splash pads have automatic shutoffs, but users can reactivate the system by simply touching a button located near each splash pad. Excess water is used to irrigate the sports fields. In season, the splash pad is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Nearby restrooms are available during these hours.
