Grommet Island Park is 15,000 square foot of beach park which feature wheelchair accessible entrances, as well as a super fun playground that's...yep...all accessible too!

The playground has raised sand tables that are perfect to build those sandcastles on for those who can't get onto the beach floor. There is a fun sensory board for kids who are autistic and visually impaired, and there is even a super fun sway boat.

It's lovely to find a place that realizes that ALL kids want the same chance to play!

Grommet Island Park also has a number of fun sculptural features, such as a surfboard, a wave, and playful dolphins and yes, they are all created to ALL children can pretend to be in the ocean, riding the waves and playing with the dolphins.
