Owen's Playground

Owen's Playground opened on July 16th, 2016! We invite you to come and play! Friends of Owen's Playground is a community organization whose mission is to spread the word about the importance of inclusive play and to provide a vibrant, social network for this valuable space here on Bainbridge Island.

Our project aims for a much higher standard of accessibly than those outlined in the updated ADA guidelines from March 2012. At the heart of this project is quality, engaging play that addresses the changing population of children and adults who utilize wheeled mobility devices, who have sensory processing issues, who have visual and hearing impairments, and who live with the challenges associated with autism, Asperger’s and other disorders. The project will also thoughtfully respond to the needs of parents and caregivers, providing a space that is inviting, stimulating, creative and that cultivates a sense of community.

Our project aims to serve ALL ages and ALL abilities throughout Bainbridge Island, the Kitsap Peninsula and areas of Seattle who will be attracted to and served by the inclusive nature of the playground and its proximity to the Winslow core.
