East Shore Drive Inclusive Playground
We are excited to announce that the City of Brigantine is seeking funding through the State of New Jersey Green Acres Program to convert the East Shore Drive Playground to a fully inclusive playground.
An inclusive playground is a thoughtfully designed space that welcomes children of all abilities, ensuring everyone can play, learn, and grow together. These playgrounds break down barriers, both physically and socially, and provide a safe place where children with and without disabilities can play together.
But we need YOUR input to make them truly exceptional! Your perspective will help create spaces that cater to diverse interests and preferences of our community.
