Noah’s Playground for Everyone – Evanston

Many playgrounds claim to be ADA accessible, but this one was designed specifically to accommodate children with sensory, developmental and physical limitations. In effect, it's for all children. Some of its features include a sandbox that's suspended to let those in wheelchairs play next to those who can stand or walk; various textures to stimulate sensory development; and bells, whistles, chimes and other noise makers to teach cause and effect.
