Kids of all abilities will now be able to enjoy a new park in Wayne.

The new playground opened at Rabbi Shai Shacknai Memorial Park on Greenrale Avenue, and has something for everyone.
There's a merry-go-round for kids in wheel chairs, and rubber padding on the ground in case anyone falls. It also teaches lessons about inclusion.
"The response from the parents and the public has just been fantastic,” says Mayor Chris Vergano. “We've had nothing but positive results, and you can see today, kids are on the swings, on the zip line, they are doing everything that every kid should be able to do."

The park took two years to build.
