Playground
The inclusive playground encourages a high level of inclusive play that focuses on physical accessibility, age and developmental appropriateness, and sensory-rich stimulating activities. The playground includes several features that make it inclusive including:
- A fully accessible rubberized surface,
- A play structure suitable for children 1.5 to 12 years old,
- Inclusive swing sets, and
- The We-Go-Round, a next-generation merry-go-round that allows kids of all abilities to play
The Kirby’s Beach Inclusive Playground was the first site in Ontario to include the We-Go-Round. This feature offers strategic seating areas with ample room for those with wheelchairs or other mobility devices. Once aboard, everyone faces the centre so they can share in the fun together.
Accessibility Features
The Town of Bracebridge has worked closely with the Accessibility Advisory Committee to make several upgrades to the park to make it accessible, including;
- Two accessible picnic tables;
- A beach mobility mat (Mobi-Mat) that allows wheelchairs to roll right into the water;
- Fully accessible universal washrooms; and
- Accessible pathways.
