The City of Plymouth has announced a new collaboration with Urban Air Adventure Park, aiming to serve individuals with disabilities and sensory sensitivities through a specially designed event called Universal Air. This sensory-friendly play day is set to unfold over two Sundays, July 21 and August 18 from 8-10 a.m. at the Urban Air location at 3580 Holly Lane N., as reported by the city's news release.
Intended to create a welcoming and inclusive environment, the event will feature various attractions devoid of typical overstimulating elements. Participants can expect access to trampolines, a ninja warrior course, indoor playground equipment, and dodgeball games. In a gesture to keep the ambiance calm and accessible, the event organizers will do away with overhead music and flashing or strobing lights, providing a tailored experience for those attending.
To further cater to the needs of individuals with sensitivities, Universal Air will also offer quiet rooms equipped with sensory activities. These spaces serve as a respite for any child or adult needing a break from the play areas, ensuring that all attendees can manage their sensory input and stay comfortable at their own pace.
The City of Plymouth and Urban Air are asking a fee of $20 per child for this unique experience, with pre-registration required—however, there's no cost or registration needed for parents or guardians accompanying children. For those interested, registration details can be found on the City of Plymouth's website. For more information, or to get answers to any queries, the Plymouth Parks and Recreation Department can be contacted at 763-509-5200.
