Mia’s Dream Come True All-Access Playground is a 1-acre all-access playground for inclusive play opportunities for child developmental needs. It replaces an existing playground in Tennyson Park in Hayward and serves the local community as well as the greater Alameda County area.
The new playground will provide a variety of play features and experiences for children of all abilities in a fun atmosphere. It includes five elements of inclusion play for cognitive, physical, social, sensory, and communication. Among the features are a Music Therapy Zone, Kindness Arches, Fire Engine, Water Tower Look-out, swings and spinners, slides and rollers, fog sprays, and a space for animal and nature exhibits. The park also provides accessible pathways, picnic areas, seating, a quiet reading area, art sculptures, donor bookshelves, and a new restroom building.
Mia’s Dream Playground is opened to the public from 9am to 8pm daily.
