About
Play for All Abilities Park in Round Rock is extraordinary — and its 4.9-star Google rating from nearly 4,400 reviews tells you immediately that this is not an ordinary park. It is specifically designed and built to be fully inclusive for children of all physical and developmental abilities, and the thoughtfulness of that design shows in every aspect of the playground.
The park features wheelchair-accessible swings, ramps to all elevated play equipment (no stairs-only access), sensory play panels, communication boards for children with speech and language needs, soft-surface flooring throughout, and equipment scaled for children who use mobility devices. But it's not just for kids with disabilities — the design creates a genuinely joyful play environment that every child can enjoy, which is the entire point of inclusive design.
For families with a child with special needs, this park is a game-changer. The ability to bring all your children to a playground where every child can access every piece of equipment — without segregated 'special' areas — is rare and deeply meaningful. Families drive from around the Austin metro specifically for this park.
For neurotypical children, the varied textures, sensory play elements, and creative equipment design make it more interesting than a standard playground. The sheer size of the park means there's always something new to discover.
Practical notes: the park is free and open 6AM-10PM. Restrooms are on-site and accessible. Weekend afternoons draw significant crowds — arrive early to get the best experience. No food is sold on-site, so bring everything you need for a longer visit.
