What is "inclusive play"?

Inclusive play creates spaces where children of all abilities play together. Our playground ensures everyone can fully participate in outdoor play, regardless of ability.

Our "Sandpoint Stories" and "Into the Woods" themes emerged from community workshops, celebrating local heritage and our passion for outdoor adventure.

Special thanks to our project partners:

• Land & Water Conservation Fund
• City of Sandpoint (with special recognition to the Parks Maintenance Staff who specially crafted the Nature Play area).
