Ballinger Park's new playground aims to be accessible for all
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Children could not wait for the ribbon to be cut Wednesday at the new Hazel Miller Universally Accessible Playground in Ballinger Park.
In the hour before the ceremony, more than a dozen kids were already rocking on the bench swing, bounding across the playground’s rubberized surface and giggling in the train-themed tunnel.
The playground is the first of its kind in Mountlake Terrace, the city’s Recreation and Parks Director Jeff Betz said.

The Hazel Miller Playground has ramps and transfer decks for wheelchairs, as well as a panel with braille numbers and letters.
