Millstone Creek Park is a 15-acre facility that includes a shelter house with family restrooms, sports fields, and a basketball court. The site is the home of an Inclusive Boundless™ Playground and a nature play area. After the success of expanding civil rights to African-Americans and women in the 1960s, advocates for persons with disabilities successfully lobbied for the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. The act shifted the burden of facilitating the inclusion of those with disabilities away from those individuals. Instead, government and business were charged with remaking the physical world to be more accessible to all Americans. The Inclusive Boundless™ Playground is designed for people with and without disabilities to learn and play together. The playground features ramps for wheelchair access, swings, slides, activity panels and canopies for shade. Metal slides help those with cochlear implants. It includes features for music, exercise, climbing, motion play, balance, fossil digging, and the latest electronic Neos sports game. The nature play area provides a place for children of all ages and abilities to explore nature, featuring cattail spinners, a plant tunnel, plus earth, wetland beach and natural object exploration areas.
