About

Augsburg Adventure Park at Augsburg Park in Richfield is one of the Twin Cities' standout inclusive playgrounds — a facility specifically designed so that children with physical disabilities can play on the same equipment as their peers, rather than having a separate accessibility-only section adjacent to the 'real' playground. That design philosophy makes a fundamental difference in the experience for families with disabled children: rather than watching from the side while siblings play, every child in the group participates on equal terms.

The playground equipment at an inclusive facility is inherently more creative and diverse than standard playground design. ADA-compliant access routes, ground-level play features, sensory elements, and equipment that can be used by children with a wide range of mobility levels produces a play environment that neurotypical kids also find more engaging than the standard structure-with-slides configuration.

Located in Richfield at 7000 Nicollet Ave, Augsburg Adventure Park is accessible from Minneapolis, Bloomington, and the south suburbs without significant driving. The surrounding Augsburg Park has green space that extends the visit into a picnic or general outdoor play time beyond the playground structure itself.

At 4. 8 stars, the playground has earned exceptional reviews from the families who have most needed a quality inclusive option. For families with children who have physical disabilities, learning differences, or sensory needs, finding a playground where everyone plays together without accommodation compromises is genuinely meaningful.

For the broader community, Augsburg Adventure Park is simply a very good playground that happens to welcome everyone.
