Play for All Abilities Park

Today we trekked up to Round Rock to check out the much-raved-about Play for All Abilities Park. They weren't kidding; this park is really somethin'. It's a million-dollar facility that includes 51,000 square feet of outdoor play space. It's called an "all abilities" park because it was designed to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. There's a sensory area, a huge sand box, a music area, a playscape, swings, and--my favorite--a miniature village. The village includes a school, a home, a hospital, a library, a car dealership, a gas station, a fire station, and a grocery store--with little streets connecting everything so the kids can ride their bikes and scooters around. There are even working traffic lights and crosswalks! The big draw for Emily was that the entire park is fully enclosed... so no escapee kids. :) 

Merry Go Round

"Round Rock Village"... Seriously, a working traffic light!
