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.

Hello! I am a huuuge fan of your book! My husband found your web site. Thanks for all your work, you've provided some great family adventures for us. We're in Danvers. Anyway, I'm glad you were going insane creatively and had to make the book. :) And glad for the opportunity to say hello and thanks.

Hi,

Great blog. Are you on hiatus, or finished with your blog for the time being?

My name is Alex Smith and I'm doing some similar blogging from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm part of a small and growing group of playground bloggers from US, UK and Canada who are getting together through a invitation only Facebook site. Would you be interested? my blog is at http://playgroundchronicles.wordpress.com
