Sitka, Alaska Celebrates Inclusion with a National Demonstration Site Playground
Play Doesn't Stop for a Rain Delay
Sitka is a lovely fishing village in Southeast Alaska. This bayside park experiences nearly 250 days of precipitation each year, but that doesn’t dampen the spirits of children who play at the new custom, inclusive playground at Crescent Harbor Park. Designed by landscape architect Monique Anderson, along with SiteLines Park & Playground–GameTime's exclusive representative in Alaska–the play area features inclusive activities for children of all abilities. It also includes themed play sculptures, play systems and spring riders to create a fun and authentic play experience for visitors and locals, alike.
The community had specific goals for this new play space:
- Custom and themed play elements that match the surroundings
- Accessible safety surfacing throughout the play area
- Musical instruments to encourage social, inclusive play
- Separate play areas for ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12
- An inclusive community play space for people of all abilities
Working with the landscape architect, community leaders and families, GameTime's play designers created the perfect space for everyone. No matter the location, GameTime can help brighten your play day!
