Thunder Junction All-Abilities Park. St. George, UT. (Phase 1 complete; Phase 2 in progress.)

This award-winning, nationally recognized park spans seven acres, with two acres dedicated to a playground. The park’s theme, “Dinosaurs in a Desert Oasis,” includes a universally accessible playground with diverse play equipment. Highlights include a rumbling and erupting volcano with a Jurassic fort and slides, dinosaur sculptures, an interactive water feature, a sculpted cave, a climbing wall, and a sensory garden with musical instruments. Additionally, it features a wheelchair-accessible train on a looped rail line, a train depot, shade structures, restrooms, concessions, and beautifully landscaped surroundings.

Phase 2 will introduce an "Ice Age" theme to complement the existing dinosaur concept while also adding a new and exciting experience. Currently in progress (and totaling an estimated $8 Million), planned features include expanded play options for children of all abilities, an asteroid bouldering area, a giant wooly mammoth play structure, and a prehistoric cave-themed train stop with slides, climbing elements, and wheelchair-accessible bridges and viewing platforms.
