The city of Round Rock, along with support from local businesses, opened an All Abilities Park recently. We decided to kick off our Memorial Day weekend by visiting this park. It's just a few minutes from our house, and by far my favorite park, so I anticipate we will be spending a lot of time here. It's a very large park, divided into different areas to spread all the kids out. There is a kid size village replica of Round Rock, with local businesses represented and working traffic lights on the "city" streets.

Car dealership- Luke driving "to get milk" (thats the only place he ever "drives" to- he loves his milk!)
The park is set up for children of all abilities to participate, so everything is very accessible to all, yet doesn't have a handicapped accessible look, letting all the kids participate together. I loved seeing all the different play structures they had available. The park is also divided into different play areas with varying themes. There is the main playscape with lots of ramps, climbing structures, slides, balance beams, etc. Then there is a sand and sensory area and also music play area where kids could make noise on the big drums or any of the play structures that made noise. We didn't have enough time to explore the whole park, which means it would be very hard to ever get bored at this park- there's just too much fun to be had!
