6 All-Abilities Parks in Utah
Let’s talk about all abilities parks. These parks are a game-changer because they’re designed to be inclusive for children of all abilities. They go above and beyond to create a welcoming and fun environment for everyone, including those in wheelchairs and kids with sensory issues. Utah is embracing the concept, and these parks are popping up all over the state.
Thunder Junction
Starting down south in St. George, we have Thunder Junction. This park is a paradise for kids, with a splash pad, a music area, a zip line, and even a train that goes around the entire park. It’s an immersive experience that guarantees endless fun for your little adventurers.
Adventure Heights All Abilities Park
In Spanish Fork, you’ll find Adventure Heights All Abilities Park. Although Lori hasn’t personally been there yet, it’s high on her bucket list. One of the highlights is the variety of slides with different textures and bumps. These slides provide a unique sensory experience for kids with special needs. Plus, there’s a fabulous splash pad area for water play.
Harvey Park
Moving on to Cedar Hills, Harvey Park steals the show. It’s a spaceship-themed wonderland with striking blue ground, making it stand out from other parks. The tallest and largest structure among all abilities parks in Utah can be found here. It’s perfect for climbing and exploring. There’s even a basketball area and pickleball courts for some friendly competition.
Draper Unity Playground
If you’re in Draper, don’t miss out on the Draper Unity Playground. It may not have a water feature, but it compensates with the longest and tallest slides in the state.

Chloe’s Sunshine Playground
Chloe’s Sunshine Playground in Syracuse offers a unique water feature to beat the summer heat. It’s a popular park, so be prepared for a lively atmosphere.
