Molino Park Special Needs Playground Equipment Installed
June 17, 2013
Installation of new playground equipment targeted for children with special needs is almost complete at the Molino Community Complex and Park on Highway 95A.
The new equipment, which is in addition to the playground equipment installed last January, will be open as soon as surface and dirt work is complete. The equipment is designed specifically for children of all ages with special needs and is designed to stimulate motor and sensory skills while providing enjoyment.
Six other Escambia County playgrounds will receive special needs playground equipment by the end of the summer:
- Beulah Regional Park, 7820 Mobile Highway
- Old Ensley School Park, 107 East Detroit Boulevard
- Lexington Terrace, 700 S. Old Corry Field Road
- Regency Park, 8245 Fathom Road
- Southwest Sports Complex, 2020 Bauer Road
- Wedgewood Park, 6405 Wagner Road
The project is funded by LOST – Local Option Sales Tax – funds.
The Molino Community Complex and Park is located at 6450 Highway 95A in Molino, directly behind the Molino Branch Library.

jeannie…please don’t even think about walking on a walking track….while your kids are playing on the playground. Do you realize how dangerous this would be? What would you do if your kids were snatched while you were at the end of the track?
Playgrounds are not intended to be babysitters for you to walk on the track.
I am so happy to have a playground for my grand kids so close to my home…. I wish they would also put in a paved track, so we could walk while the kids played.
This is great I’m in Beulah . And our park is so pleasant. I am very thankful for all that is done. I just really wish there was some kind of pull up bar or dip bar for the older children and parents so we also could work out some muscles that would be super awesome in Beulah.
I love this!! My son has Down Syndrome and when we go to the playground now he will have so much fun. He has such a hard time on the other equipment.
A society’s greatest testament is in how it cares for it’s differently abled, elderly and infirm.
