You may have noticed orange construction fence at Ella Mae Power Park and the older of the two existing play structures has been removed.
It is being replaced with a 100% inclusive playground with opportunities for children of all abilities ages 2-12 to play together in the same space. Features include:
• Above ground wheelchair access with landing decks designed to provide appropriate turning space and gathering points for wheelchair users.
• A “We-Go-Swing” designed to allow wheelchair users to swing with their friends (both in wheelchairs or not)
• Poured In Place safety surfacing
• Multiple sensory play features
The playground meets/exceeds all current safety and accessibility requirements. The playground is designed to be incorporated into the existing inclusive designed playground that was installed in 2014 allowing for better flow of play between the playgrounds and a matching color scheme.
Construction began in June and the playground is anticipated to open in July 2021.
The project is part of the Special Outreach Services (SOS) program which is focused on increasing engagement and delivering support services and resources to senior citizens and residents in Novi with special needs or accessibility challenges.
