esigned by Design Concepts, Bellevue, Washington’s Inspiration Playground
is a completely accessible and inclusive play environment. The theme of
the park is “whimsical nature” and it is filled with sensory experiences to
enrich engagement for children with physical or developmental challenges.
An interactive lighted wisdom tree welcomes all into the park, grade changes
enable wheelchair access throughout all levels of the playground, including the
custom climbing wall and site overlook. Children can study the play area from
quiet areas around the park. An accessible water play area with waterfall and
carved water table invite participation, and magic and imagination abound.
