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. Please send me suggestions for additions to this page, as I know many parents would love more fun options for their children!!
