VISIT PALO ALTO
Magical Bridge Playground is located in Mitchell Park, Palo Alto, CA, near the dog park and tennis courts on the side of the park nearest to Mitchell Park Library and Ada’s Cafe. Park by the Mitchell Park Library and walk past the tennis courts.
Please note that we do not take reservations for birthday parties or large events. We encourage you to host these types of events outside the playground gates. There are many tables and event venues throughout Mitchell Park that can hold larger gatherings.


The first of its kind.
Since opening in April 2015, Magical Bridge Playground in Palo Alto is heralded as the nation’s most innovative and inclusive playground, attracting visitors of all ages and all abilities. Now one of several Magical Bridge Playgrounds opened across the Bay Area, Magical Bridge is intentionally designed to be social inclusive, providing a safe and accessible outdoor play space for all, including the 1-in-4 of us living with physical and cognitive disabilities, autism, visual and hearing impairments, as well as for the medically fragile and our aging population.
