One Of The Largest And Most Inclusive Playgrounds In North Carolina Is Incredible

This impressive inclusive playground in North Carolina is one of the largest of its kind in the state. With the latest state-of-the-art equipment, such as a Sensory Play Roller Table, a Sway Fun Glider, and Sensory Play Panels, this playground in Statesville provides fun for everyone. The 10,000-square-foot padded play area offers eight activity centers, including climbing walls, swings, a zipline, and slides. And to make matters more exciting, the fun center is located at Rescue Ranch, a nonprofit animal education center. Let's take a look at this incredible age-appropriate, sensory-stimulating playground.

Since Rescue Ranch is an all-inclusive environment, it is fitting that it would house an inclusive playground.

Rescue Ranch gives sanctuary and permanent homes to more than 80 rescued animals.

The staff and the community have provided the inclusive playground, and this aerial view gives an indication of what's available in the padded play space.

Drive by for a closer look at this fantastic option for fun.

Several sensory play panels encourage tactile skills, such as the Chimes Reach Panel and the Match 3 Panel.

The Custom Play Barn inspires social and imaginative play.

We love the Sway Fun Glider, which is the first wheelchair-accessible glider that meets all of the safety standards.

And for the swinging lovers out there, try out the Oodle Swing; the Molded Bucket Seats with Harness swing; and the ZipKrooz Double and ZipKrooz-assisted with Harness swings.

For us climbers, several options are available, such as the Vertical Ascent, the Vertical Ladder, a Loop Ladder, and a Corkscrew Climber.
