Pick a Place to Play

We are so excited for this new accessible playground coming this fall! 🛝We love the P.I. Trailhead Park and can't wait for this new chapter.

The Trailhead Park playground will be closed beginning Monday 9/14. The current playground will undergo a massive makeover with new accessible playground equipment and pour in place rubber surfacing. Partial funding for the project is provided by the State of MN DNR's Outdoor Recreation Grant Program. Please keep you and your kids safe if in the area while work is being completed in the coming weeks.

Colvill Universal Playground treated us very well today. Sunshine and a light breeze before Minnesota weather never felt so good.
A few features we LOVED:

- more than five 🦅 bald eagle nests!
- a passenger train passed nearby while we were playing!
- accessible ramps spanned the entire play structure! 🚒The firetruck and pirate ship were accessible as well.
- a handicapped accessible portapotty was available onsite despite April being the off season.
