ROCHESTER — A new universal play area has opened in Rochester. Memorial Grove All Abilities Park — adjacent to Halbach Field, off of Woodward Avenue — features new interactive play equipment around the existing walkways in Memorial Grove, with a turf floor around the equipment. “It’s the first all-abilities, inclusive playground and park in the city, and I think it’s going to speak to many future years, as we expand our parks,” said Finance Director Anthony Moggio. “It’s an example of how we want to be inclusive and make sure we can be good partners with our community and the schools and that everyone can enjoy recreation outdoors, with as many barriers removed as possible.” The intent of the area, according to city officials, is to be a barrierfree passive area for children with sensory sensitivities or accessibility barriers, allowing them to enjoy the play equipment as families walk around the oval pathway. “We have everything from sound features to a glider that’s wheelchair accessible and many other features to try to cover a little bit of everything
