Numerous city officials broke ground Tuesday on Lincoln’s first inclusive playground at Mahoney Park, near N. 70th and Fremont Streets. Construction of the nearly 34,000 square-foot inclusive playground will continue through the fall and is scheduled for completion in mid-2025. The fenced area will include a pathway loop to access different play zones, open green space, and sensory gardens. The design includes a centralized shade shelter, drinking fountain, interactive water table, and new play equipment to provide accessible and inclusive play experiences such as swinging, sliding, rocking, climbing, balancing, imaginative play, and fitness.
