Named for Tatum Bakker, who is confined to a wheelchair due to Spina Bifida, Tatum's Garden is a unique playground especially designed to be accessible to all children with limited mobility. Tatum’s Garden gives children with special needs the chance to play together with their able-bodied friends in a stimulating and safe environment. At the heart of the large playground there is an elaborate (and fully accessible) tree house with various slides and other fun activities. You can bring along a picnic to enjoy at one of the picnic tables. The park is meticulously maintained by a team of volunteers and there are accessible toilets on site.
