An inclusive playground allows children of all abilities and developmental stages to play together and creates a nurturing environment for all

“Going to a playground is not something we currently do as a family. It is hard to keep up on a traditional playground because my kids have different needs – one is in a wheelchair and the other is Autistic and has ADHD. An inclusive playground at the JCC is a very exciting, amazing addition for my family and the entire community. I am thankful that the JCC takes the time and values my children.”

The Trager Family JCC’s Inclusive Playground follows the Seven Principles of Universal Design and exceeds ADA requirements.

FLEXIBLE • Flexibility – The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.

Our mission is to be a community rooted in Jewish culture and values providing a pathway
to a changing world as we bring people together to discover, connect and flourish.
