Ensuring children of all abilities can play together 

Construction has begun on the new inclusive playground at Willow Park School, and is set to open later this fall, or early next year, weather permitting.

• STEM/STEAM free-standing play miracle machine; first in the region 
• A wheelchair accessible glider swing 
• Sensory play equipment including smooth, textured, visual, auditory and uneven play components 
• Four slides including spiral, straight, open top and tunnel

• Playhouse for imaginative play 
• Symbol-based communication board
