SOUTH JORDAN - City officials are planning to install an all-inclusive, all-abilities playground at East Riverfront Park, 10991 S. Riverfront Parkway.

The playground will include sensory, physical and social activities for children of any ability. It will also provide cooperative play, cozy spaces and vestibular motion equipment to support children with autism.

Funding for the project is a cooperative effort among the city, Salt Lake County, the South Jordan Rotary Club, the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, Rocky Mountain Power Foundation and the Michel Foundation.

Construction is set to begin this fall and will also include enhanced landscaping. During construction the park will remain open, but the playground will be closed.
