"The playground will include state-of-the-art handicapped accessible swings, spinners and slides, musical sensory play equipment, smooth barrier-free surfacing and more," officials stated.

LuBird's selected this location because of the community-focused mission of Stanley Marketplace and its proximity to Denver's pediatric hospitals

Work on the playground started last September -- they hope to be finished in August.
