New accessible playground at Creekside Park Elementary gives kids with disabilities a chance to play tooPublished: Aug. 29, 2024 at 8:05 PM AKDTANCHORAGE, Alaska -
“I started to realize that this playground means much more than just a school playground,” said Creekside Park Elementary Principal David Christal. He observed how the Creekside Park school playground is a hub for neighborhood children, regardless of school being in session or if they’re even students at all.
“There was a berm right here that kept all the rocks in on the playground.” Christal said, gesturing to the newly level playground surface. “That’s a small step for me or someone else, but if you have a disability, that is a huge barrier.” Anderson said they chose Creekside Park for upgrades based on a few criteria: it needed to be a Title One school, have a life skills program, and be a high performing school.
