The importance of accessible playgrounds in Idaho

The new accessible playground at Pine Grove Park.

Playing at the park, on the swings or slide, is a regular part of childhood for most kids. But for those who do not have access to a park with the right kind of equipment playtime can be a challenge.

That's why the City of Boise recently opened a new accessible playground at Pine Grove Park.

Bonnie Shelton, the communication and marketing superintendent for Boise Parks and Recreation joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the park.
