The sensory friendly time at Our Special Harbor at Franconia Park welcomes individuals and families who need spaces with reduced sensory input.

This family-friendly park has fun features including computerized water mazes, water buckets, and a spraying osprey nest. It also has a quieter beach area where younger children can play with soft bubblers and interactive water tables. During Sensory Friendly times experience limited capacity, reduced sounds (louder water features are turned off) and staff trained to respond to children with special needs.

Admission is free for families at this fully accessible sprayground.
