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.

Jeannette praises the inclusive design, which provides accessible pathways and engaging play features, making this playground a beacon of community love and a model for inclusive recreation. With features that invite everyone to join the fun, this playground is a true celebration of play for all.
