New Inclusive Playground Opens at City Park Today
Radcliff, KY · July 10, 2026
The yellow tape is coming down at City Park just in time for the weekend. It is a perfect morning to see the new equipment before the drizzle sets in later today.
The Lead
The final safety inspections for the new inclusive playground at Radcliff City Park were completed late yesterday, clearing the way for a grand opening this morning. This project replaces aging structures with sensory-friendly equipment, wheelchair-accessible ramps, and rubberized surfacing designed for children of all abilities. Local families advocated for these upgrades for over a year to ensure the park serves every child in the community, regardless of physical mobility. While the official ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for later this month, the city has opted to open the gates early to give kids a head start on summer fun. Maintenance crews will remain on-site periodically today to finish landscaping around the perimeter, so expect a few orange cones near the parking lot entrance.
