Harper Park: New inclusive playground opens in Knightdale
A new park is open in Knightdale.
Harper Park and its all-inclusive playground at 207 Main St. features a zero-entry merry-go-round, inclusive swings, sensory play equipment and other structures children of varying abilities can enjoy.
The playground was designed to encourage children of all abilities to play together and build friendships, promoting a more inclusive and accepting community, according to a release.
The town of Knightdale held a ribbon cutting event Sunday with play opportunities for the families in attendance.
"Knightdale is a town that welcomes all people, and the Harper Park Playground will be an active, engaging extension of that philosophy for citizens and visitors alike," said Mayor Jessica Day.
The park was made possible due to a $229,650 donation from Wake Stone Corporation in memory of its founder, John Bratton, Jr.
