ALWAYS A DREAM PLAY PARK
MIG has designed dozens of barrier-free parks and written accessible recreation guidelines for several agencies. One of its more recent projects was the one-acre Always a Dream Play Park in Fremont, Calif., funded by Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream Foundation.
The park has rubber mounds that a wheelchair user can navigate, as well as a small hill that can be traversed via gentle slopes.
“We like topography because it adds a different dimension to the environment,” Goltsman says of the park that integrates universal design into misters, water cannon play areas, swings with enhanced back support and a big slide.
“We always try to get kids as high as we can, so they can roll onto bridges, ramps and other features.”
