Inclusive playground — Attraction in Irmo

This park is pretty awesome (which I will go into below), but there are 2 cons. There is a $5 admission (which considering just how hard it can be to find truly inclusive places isn't so bad, but that means it's one we can't go to as often as we'd like). (ETA: The $5 does include the rest of park, which if you plan on exploring more, it's worth it) There isn't a ton of shade, and it gets hot quickly, especially seeing as the "misting stations" weren't working. A lot of the equipment was too hot to use unless you had a towel/long pants. If this location had a splash pad/better water features & shade I would've given it 5 stars. There is a splash pad that you could go to on the other side of the park but it's kind of far away and older looking. Now for the pros: This is truly an all inclusive playground. There are ramps and modified equipment (ie wheelchair swing) that makes it truly accessible. The bathrooms were clean and included a family/handicap restroom. There was a very cool music garden and lots of fun sensory elements included, including hidey holes for those that easily get overestimulated easily. There is also a shaded picnic area with a few tables, but it's a little too far away to watch the whole playground if you have littles who are exploring. Overall, in the cooler months it would be pretty awesome and if you want your special needs kiddo to have a place designed around them for a change, it's worth...

This place is a nice playground for all ages. Very spacious for kids to run around without having to worry about out them running into each other or other kids playing. They have little houses towards the back where the kids can pretend play and the also have a book nook where kids can sit and read or just hang out. There’s a variety of things for the kids to do including a pond where you can see turtles swimming about. They have some mist towers you can operate to cool down as well. Which I’m thankful for just because there is a lack of shade throughout the park. So it can get hot real quick. They do have picnic tables and seating that are covered. So that a plus. The bathrooms are also well kept. They do have a bottle filling station which has been great especially on the...

This park is everything plus more! I have a 5 year old in a wheelchair and a very active 3 year old and 1 year old and this park has everything for them all to enjoy! They have adaptable equipment for my 5 year old to enjoy in and out of his wheelchair. It has shaded areas and I love the turf instead of real grass. It makes pushing wheelchairs easier because my son loves going up and down the hills. There is also a free book area (if you see any books with "I Can 4 Isaac" stickers, those are donated by a very nice lady in dedication for her late son). In all, this park is the true definition of being inclusive. The only thing I wish is that is was closer to my home b/c we'd...
