Pittsford Park: Yield for Traffic Signs on the Accessible Red Playground

by Michele on November 29, 2008

Pittsford Park

Pittsford Park added a universally accessible playspace – completed in October 2008. It’s brilliant red with even the upper levels accessible to wheelchairs. A cars/roadway theme provides little people with stop and yield signs and a trike course.

Location: From the 405, take the El Toro Road exit and follow it away from the ocean. Pass Trabuco Road and turn left on Northcrest Drive. Take the first right on Pittsford. [Address: 21701 Pittsford Drive, Lake Forest]  MAP to Pittsford Park in Lake Forest

Highlights:

  • Most popular: cube stack and sand play area (bring sand toys)
  • 4-child teeter-totter with seat backs
  • Tons of swings for all types and ages of users
  • Trike track with street signs
  • Lots of play space for all ages and abilities

Be Aware:

  • Crowded at times and the usual fall dangers with the very high structures (for the really little ones)

Checklist:

  • On street parking
  • Recycled rubber play surface (ramps down to bark play surface)
  • Restrooms near playspace by tennis courts
  • Drinking fountain in center of playspace with wheelchair access
  • Shade under picnic gazebo
  • Red benches throughout for viewing kids
  • Nice picnic gazebo above playspace with grill
  • Another picnic area with no shade
  • Tennis courts and grass volleyball
  • Double the Adventure blog coverage of Pittsford Park
