A special thanks to the
three Lubbock AMBUCS chapters
for making the dream of an
accessible playground a reality.
Opened in April 2003, the 20,000 square foot AMBUCS HUB City Playground
provides integrated play/learn structures for the enjoyment of children
of all ages and abilities.
This nationally recognized playground is wheelchair accessible and
offers numerous bridges, slides and lookouts.
Other amenities include a wheelchair accessible
sandbox and swing area. Located near the medical community, the
playground has been an ideal location for physical therapy sessions.
The playground was designed with sun safety in mind because many
children with disabilities have a limited tolerance to sun exposure.
Therefore, the structures include many shaded areas. Future
improvements include the construction of a new shade structure for the
picnic area adjacent to the playground allowing for a more enjoyable and
safe play experience at the park. The community has raised $10,000
to assist with the replacement of the shade structure, and the City of
Lubbock is grateful for the many individuals who helped contribute to
this fund.
