Set Sail to Play!
Fosston’s Inclusive Playground Project at Berge–Stafford Park
Inclusive Playground

Fosston is investing in a new, inclusive playground designed for kids of all abilities — inspired by water, adventure, and play — where families and friends can gather and connect.

Why this project matters

Playgrounds are more than equipment — they’re places where kids build confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging. This project creates a space where children of all abilities can play side-by-side, families can gather, and the entire community feels welcome.

The new playground is designed for imaginative play, movement, and connection — built to serve Fosston for years to come.
