Accessible playground earns recognition

JANN HENDRY/Acorn Newspapers BEST OF L.A.- Gates Canyon Park in Calabasas is among Los Angeles Magazine's favorite neighborhood parks. The publication dubbed Gates Canyon "The Player," citing the universally accessible Brandon's Village playground, shown above, as a chief highlight. The playground, which opened in 2006, features a mini-climbing wall, crawl tubes, a giant Braille clock and play equipment that can be enjoyed by children with disabilities. Gates Canyon Park is at 25801 Thousand Oaks Blvd. near Lupin Hill Elementary School.
