Handicap Accessible Playground Coming to Massapequa Park

Massapequa Park is getting a brand new playground where people of all abilities can have fun.

Funds totaling $75,000 were awarded for the project, set for Brady Park in Village of Massapequa Park, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano confirmed.

The park will feature safe surfaces and handicap accessible playground equipment, said Mangano in a statement.

“These Federal funds will help the Village of Massapequa Park provide residents with a safe playground at Brady Park that will be accessible for everyone,” said Mangano in a statement.

“This accessible playground will be extremely beneficial to all children as inclusion provides children with the ability to develop leadership skills and compassion while children with disabilities develop a greater level of self-confidence and feeling of acceptance.”

“We are extremely grateful for the $75,000 grant to update our playground equipment so that all children are able to use the park and enjoy its surroundings,” said Mayor Jeffrey Pravato.
