Audubon Park Playground Shelters 11 & 12

Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Audubon Park Playground Shelters 11 & 12 project included a pioneering playground that offers inclusive recreational opportunities for children-and adults of all abilities. Designed by Eskew+Dumez+Ripple, the scope of work encompassed paving work, fencing, handicap-accessible paths, new restrooms, roof replacements, and landscaping improvements for shelters 11 and 12. The highlight of this project was the Walnut Street Playground, the unique design offers a welcoming environment for children with mobility challenges, including playground equipment accessible for people who use wheelchairs. In addition, the design presents a variety of features that provide sensory engagement and promote the development of motor skills.
