Lakeland Florida – CommonGround a place to be for all Children

Recently, I strolled around the most interesting playground I’ve ever seen, Lakeland CommonGround – oh boy, I wished I had a playground like this when I grew up. The best thing is it is right here in this beautiful city of Lakeland.

The thought originally of such a park came from two Lakeland-area mothers of children with special needs, who contacted the Parks and Recreation Department with their suggestion. After four years of fundraising, planning and construction, this park opened up for all children ages 2-12 earlier this year.

Lakeland Florida CommonGround Park – a Place for Children of all abilities

Located in Edgewood Park, at the corner of Edgewood Drive and Buckingham Avenue, Lakeland’s CommonGround uses the space very efficiently with two separate playground areas, a rock-climbing wall, an astroturf mound for kids to roll down, and much more for all children of all abilities. Play zones are exceptionally designed, so children can play side-by-side.

The park is open from 8:00 a.m. until dusk!

I just love when city, community leaders, various fund raising organizations, such as the Rotary Clubs, businesses and volunteers come together and create such a place for children. Again, this just goes to show that Lakeland is not just a pit stop of Interstate 4. It is a great place to raise a family with children of all abilities.
