Valpo Parks is thrilled to announce that a new, inclusive playground is coming to Foundation Meadows Park as part of the rePLAY initiative. This state-of-the-art play space will offer children of all abilities a chance to play, explore, and connect with others.
The Aventus Tower is the industry’s first accessible playground tower up to 12 feet. The 5,230 square-foot play space will feature several play components designed to stimulate creativity, encourage physical activity, and promote social interaction. The playground’s design prioritizes accessibility, featuring:
- Poured-in-place surfacing: Providing a smooth, resilient, and accessible surface for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
- 15 ground-level components: Offering a variety of engaging activities accessible to all children.
- Eight different types of ground-level play: Ensuring diverse play experiences and sensory stimulation.
- Seven elevated play components accessible by a ramp: Allowing children using mobility devices to access elevated play features and experience the joy of climbing and exploring.
- Two bench swings: Providing a relaxing and inclusive swinging experience for children and caregivers.
“We are incredibly excited to bring this new inclusive playground to Foundation Meadows Park in early summer,” said Kevin Nuppnau, Parks Director. “This playground is a testament to our commitment to creating inclusive play spaces where all children can thrive. We believe that play is essential for a child’s development, and this new playground will provide countless opportunities for children of all abilities to learn, grow, and have fun together.”
Foundation Meadows Park is located at 3210 N. Campbell St.
Valpo Parks will announce the official grand opening date and any planned celebrations closer to the completion of the project.
