Help Identify 'Playgrounds For Everyone' In St. Louis

(via Flickr/immeemz)

NPR has embarked on a project to compile a database that doesn't exist yet - a list of all of the accessible playgrounds in the United States. And they're looking for your help.

Playing on a playground seems like a common childhood activity where physical activity meets social interaction. But, for some children with disabilities, playing along with other kids on those playgrounds isn't easy, or even possible. 

Use the interactive widget below to help identify St. Louis-area playgrounds with accessible elements. Or, if you're looking for an accessible playground, you can also search for one near you.
