Founded in Palo Alto, Magical Bridge currently has five playgrounds in the Bay Area that are open to the public.

These inclusive playgrounds are located across the San Francisco Bay Area, with 11 more in development worldwide.

The foundation is dedicated to designing and building inclusive playgrounds that cater to everyone, regardless of age or ability.
One of the key features that sets Magical Bridge Playgrounds apart is their thoughtful design. Swings are made inclusive at Magical Bridge Playgrounds with bucket swings that accommodate all sizes.
