INGLESIDE – Children jumped, crawled, climbed and slid at the new playground in Ingleside during the grand opening of the first American with Disabilities Act playground in Grant Township.

While children played during the sunny, breezy Saturday morning, the adults walked around inspecting the quality of the equipment and taking notice of its disability-friendly features – not often found on more traditional playgrounds.

“Kids have the regular, long, curvy slide and then there’s the roll down slide; important for kids who can’t pull themselves down,” said Carissa Dunkelberg of Fox Lake, who is part of the Gewalt Hamilton company that helped with the construction of the playground.
