Scott's Place Playground — Attraction in Loxahatchee Groves

This full acre playground is located in the Wellington Town Center Promenade. This area includes the Wellington Community Center, Wellington Amphitheater, and the Patriot Memorial. The last time I was here the playground was closed after being shut down July 2022 for construction activity related to the Town Center Phase 2 project. It resumed regular operating hours in May of 2023. When I visited the recent Lakeside Market I was delighted to find it filled with happy children playing on the unique and inclusive equipment.

Scott's Place Barrier-Free Playground was built in 2010 with a donation made by Wellington residents Del and Barbara Williamson in honor of their son Scott Scott had cerebral palsy and sadly passed away at age of six. The playground is barrier free meaning it was designed to meet the needs of both able-bodied and disabled children. There aren't many playgrounds created to be barrier free so this is a very special play space for all of the children of Wellington to enjoy.

As part of this project, Wellington held a community build weekend event where more than 300 volunteers assembled all of Scott's Place playground equipment. This fenced in playground is themed to Wellington's horse culture with a large horse statue, play wagon, and a horse spring rider. There are the traditional climbing equipment and swings that you expect to find at any playground but also special equipment like sensory items, a communication board where non verbal children can point at pictures to let people know their needs, and wheelchair ramps. There is also a reading corner, covered pavilion, benches, and restrooms. Parents can appreciate the safety aspects of this play space while the kids can enjoy creative play that encourages imagination and physical movement. Kudos to Wellington for creating this safe, clean, and inclusive environment for children to play...

My review is only on the kiddie playground area for now. It's nice, clean & cute for small children. I took my 19 month old toddler here & she loved it. Not sure on the age limit but based on the slides, swings etc I would say from toddler up to about 6 or 7 idk but check it out... The grass is artificial and the ground has "cushion" for safety..there are low slides for babies & up. There's a reading corner where you can help yourself to a book, plastic horses to sit on, plenty of benches for the parents, bathrooms, & water fountains. It's also all gated so that's a plus. Overall it's a nice park w/plenty of space for lots of kids to run around...
