Seattle PlayGarden

The Seattle PlayGarden improves the lives of children with disabilities by providing them with full access to a safe indoor/outdoor recreation space and offering inclusive programs that encourage their potential. The PlayGarden partners with the Seattle Parks Department to provide families of children with special needs a fully accommodating public park situated in Seattle's south-central neighborhood.

Our one acre grounds and inclusive programs are designed for children of all abilities to enjoy – kids on two feet, kids with walkers, kids in wheelchairs, and kids who communicate differently. With expansive gardens, adaptable playground equipment and basketball court, animal coops with bunnies, chickens and ducks, bouncy volcano and water feature, tree fort lookout, musical art sculpture and ADA compliant buildings, the PlayGarden is a park for children of all abilities to play, learn and grow.

The PlayGarden offers developmentally appropriate, nature-based programs for children of all ages and abilities (3 – 21). We offer outdoor preschool, summer camps, inclusive workshops, young adult art programs and community events throughout the year. All programs and events are inclusive and multi-age, maximizing the opportunity for children with disabilities and their typically developing siblings and friends to play together.
