Swinson Park

Description

Swinson Park in Morehead City has an inclusive playground with a zipline, Liberty Swing, and sensory panels where kids of all abilities play together. The fully ramped play structure, built for ages 5 to 12, has integrated shade, a double slide, climbers, stepping pods, a balance beam, and activity panels. Around it, the play space adds a discovery cave, a Merry-Go-All spinner, a Sky Run zipline and track ride, and a mix of swings, including a Liberty Swing for wheelchair users, saucer swings, and swings with adaptive seats. Shade, benches, and engineered wood fiber and poured-in-place surfacing help parents and caregivers settle in while children play. The playground is one of the Trillium Play Together accessible playgrounds. This Carteret County park also has lighted baseball, softball, t-ball, and soccer fields, lighted basketball and tennis courts, batting cages, and open multi-purpose fields. A picnic area with grills, a picnic shelter near the playground entrance, restrooms, and parking make it work for a quick playground stop or a longer afternoon built around a youth game.
