• Harper's Playground. (6 Parks in Oregon)

"We build inclusive playgrounds where everyone can play together. And we put our seal of approval on playgrounds that succeed in being naturally inclusive. That means they are physically, socially, and emotionally inviting. Below are playgrounds carrying Harper’s Playground seal of approval. Some we’ve built. Some we’ve consulted on. Some were inspired by us. All are inclusive." Link to their website.
