NPR has a great story about accessible playgrounds where kids with and without disabilities can have fun together. Nothing like this existed when I was a kid and I wish it had; the playground near my childhood home was decidedly inaccessible. The article points out that accessible playgrounds are expensive to build and that parents often have to raise the necessary funds themselves. As the economy slowly improves, perhaps more municipalities will see such playgrounds as a worthy investment.
NPR is also creating a database of accessible playgrounds that is open for public contribution.
