New Inclusive Playground Opens Today at City Park

Radcliff, KY · July 22, 2026

The humidity is holding off just long enough to enjoy the new swings at City Park this morning. Plenty of folks are expected to gather near the community center as the orange fencing finally comes down.

📰 The Lead

The ribbon-cutting for the "All-Abilities" playground expansion at City Park is set for 10:00 AM today. This project, which has been in the works since last fall, replaces the aging plastic structures with rubberized surfacing and sensory-rich equipment designed for children of all physical capabilities. The city secured a state grant to cover nearly sixty percent of the costs, with local civic groups bridging the gap through a series of pancake breakfasts and 5K runs. Beyond the new slides, the area now features shaded seating for parents and improved drainage to prevent the "mud pit" effect after summer storms. Public Works crews finished the final safety inspections late yesterday afternoon. It’s a significant win for local families who previously had to drive to Elizabethtown for similar specialized facilities.
