Barrier Free Playground in Sonoma, CA

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker DeAnza Realty
Today my husband and I were part of the construction crew helping to erect a new "barrier free" playground going in at our daughters' school, the Sonoma Charter School.  A barrier free playground is inclusive of chidren of all abilities.  It is ramped to allow wheel chair access.  It will be a place where children in Sonoma can converge and play together,  no matter if they are running around or in a wheel chair.  One of the students at SCS who is going into first grade is so excited at the prospect of being able to play with his friends.  Last year he had to watch from the sidelines in his wheelchair while his friends ran up and down the play structure.  This year he will get to participate in all aspects of play on the playground.  Shouldn't all parks be this way?  More to come as playground progresses.
