As a Mom of twins who have special needs, I have always been on the search for playgrounds that were enclosed, safe, and accessible. There are some really amazing “universally accessible” playgrounds in New Jersey that I want to share with you. Your best bet is to Google the playgrounds you want to visit. There will be many links to the park, whether it is on a city website, parent guide site, article, or Facebook page! Every time I took my boys to a new place, I would research it and gather as much information as I could so I was prepared when we got to our destination! I also suggest if you are still hesitant to visit a new park, reach out to our parents in my Facebook group. I am sure you will get lots of feedback!
Please send me suggestions for additions to this page, as I know many parents would love more fun options for their children!!
