Stratford Road Celebrates Opening of New Adaptive Playground

On September 6th, the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District celebrated the opening of its new adaptive playground at Stratford Road Elementary School. This state-of-the-art play space offers a variety of fun outdoor activities designed to accommodate students at all ability levels.

Funding was secured through the office of Assemblymember Steve Stern after he attended the annual Legislative Breakfast hosted by the Plainview-Old Bethpage Board of Education. Stratford Road Elementary School was chosen as the playground's site due to its role as the District’s center for pupil personnel services and special education.

“It was lovely to see our students take advantage of this brand-new play space,” Trustee Ginger Lieberman said. “Everything we do on the Board is in service of providing the resources our students need to thrive, and that includes advocating for all-inclusive facilities like this playground. Thank you to our state partners for helping us make this project a reality.”

“We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated Board of Education and strong community support that allow us to provide for our students in ways that would not be possible otherwise. This playground is just one of many examples,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary O’Meara. “I look forward to generations of students at Stratford enjoying this playground. It certainly looks fun!”
