Ballinger Park's new playground aims to be accessible for all

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Children could not wait for the ribbon to be cut Wednesday at the new Hazel Miller Universally Accessible Playground in Ballinger Park.

In the hour before the ceremony, more than a dozen kids were already rocking on the bench swing, bounding across the playground’s rubberized surface and giggling in the train-themed tunnel.

The playground is the first of its kind in Mountlake Terrace, the city’s Recreation and Parks Director Jeff Betz said.
