ROCKDALE COUNTY, GA – The community is invited to celebrate the grand opening of Johnson Park’s new inclusive playground during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 4:30 p.m.,1781 Ebenezer Road in Conyers.
The state-of-the-art playground has been designed with accessibility and inclusivity at its core, ensuring that children of all abilities can play together in a welcoming and engaging environment. The new facility features accessible equipment, sensory-rich play elements, and barrier-free pathways that accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility devices.
“This playground represents our commitment to creating spaces where every child in our community can experience the joy of play,” said Christine Carney, director of Parks and Recreation for Rockdale County. “We’ve worked hard to design an environment that brings children together, regardless of their physical, sensory, or cognitive abilities.”
The inclusive playground includes equipment such as adaptive swings, ground-level play components, tactile and musical elements, and shade structures to ensure comfortable play for all. Safety surfacing throughout the playground provides a smooth, accessible foundation that meets ADA standards.
Community members, families, local officials, and project partners will gather at Johnson Park for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony. Light refreshments will be provided, and children will have the opportunity to be among the first to enjoy the new playground following the ceremony.
