Katy City Park Designed Specifically for Children who have Disabilities

 

The City of Katy TX never ceases to amaze me with some of the services they provide to the public. A Katy City Park named Katy Play Station has been designed specifically for children who have disabilities. The City states this is the largest park of its kind in the State of Texas as its innovatively designed playground provides access to children who are multiply-impaired and extremely deaf children. The park is located at 572 Franz Road, Katy TX and is open daylight hours each day.

 

On site there is a large train caboose which is representing the MKT rail line which was a major factor for Katy developing back in the 1890’s into an actual city. The facility has playground equipment including many swings. All items are accessible to wheelchairs and all have pieces of equipment have Braille lettering. Children without disabilities and with are welcome to play.  The Park per City officials is very safe and there are special bars which assist with getting onto or off a piece of equipment.

I encourage folks who have children without disabilities to take them to this wonderful playground and play with the kids who do have disabilities. Just think you could make a child who never gets any breaks feel real good inside and you may make a real friend for life.

Robert,  This is a great idea and so forward thinking for Katy Texas.  I really like and agree with your suggestion for parents of children without disabilities to go and interact with those that do.

Good Evening Robert

Excellent post and one that the people of Katy should be proud of.  All too often city leaders ignore those with disabilities.  Katy, Texas is at the head of the pack here

Good afternoon Bob -

This is such an inspirational post!  I hope the media covers it to the fullest and gets the word out there to the public and to the families with kids that have a disability.  All cities and towns could take a lesson from this Katy Texas park.
