The playground at Totem Lake Park in Kirkland features colorful climbers, bridges and slides. Also colorful is the playground’s surface, which, it turns out, has superpowers! Not only is the surface beautiful to look at and wheelchair-friendly, but the ForeverLawn playground grass also has antistatic properties that help prevent damage to cochlear implants and other electronic medical devices. How cool is that?! Low-incline hills and parallel bars provide accessible obstacle course elements and strength challenges for children with disabilities.
One thing here kids won’t care about, but you might: The park is right by grocery stores that you might frequent, making it a convenient play stop for multitasking grownups.
