The inclusive roundabout ensures children can spin together, fostering a sense of unity and allowing everyone to join in on the fun.

Community Connections

The Port Germein Inclusive Playground has already become a cherished spot for local families, including Jeannette Flynn and her son, Texas. As a child with cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, and epilepsy, Texas thrives in this thoughtfully designed, accessible space. From “butt scooting” across smooth surfaces to enjoying the carousel and pod swing, the playground offers opportunities for joyful play and social connection.
