Overview
Reimagined in 2022, River Heritage Park prioritizes inclusive access throughout. The playground has two sections — a front pod at the entrance and a back trail winding through woods toward the White River — both featuring wheelchair-accessible equipment including swings and a merry-go-round. Zip lines and climbing structures appear along the wooded trail. The 0.75-mile looping nature trail uses permeable rubberized surfacing in earth tones, designed for wheelchair users.
