Rockport Elementary School

A representative of a playground design and installation company (Site Specifics) has informed me that Rockport Elementary School had installed a new FULLY accessible playground. This makes it the fourth fully accessible playground on the North Shore. 

Here are some photos from Cindy Maak, the Site Specifics representative. The photos are of the playground during construction. I have yet to make it out to the playground. I would go now even though there is 7" of snow on the ground currently, but the photos wouldn't be as good as I would want them. So we shall go visit it when the snow melts.


The four fully accessible playgrounds are:

1. Touch the Sky Playground (Beverly School for the Deaf)
2. Ross Memorial Park in Peabody
3. Abbot Park, Swampscott (only partially, but not bad)
4. and now Rockport Elementary

North Beverly Elementary School will have the FIFTH fully accessible playground sometime in the summer of 2009.
