Therapeutic PlayGarden

Our play garden is specially designed to meet the needs of children with varying levels of physical challenges. Adapted swings, slides, and ladders are among the equipment that allows children with special needs to play easily and safely with others. Sandboxes, sprinklers, and a working rock stream allow children to gain sensory awareness during play. The play garden is available for the therapists and teachers to use during sessions, and is also available to families and patients as recreation. The PlayGarden is open to the general public.
