(Westville, IN) - New playground equipment is ready for summertime fun in LaPorte County. Bluhm County Park now has a brand new playscape.

The over 5,500 square foot playground has features for kids of all ages and abilities. It's being billed as the first fully inclusive playground in the county, meaning it is designed with mixed features that kids of all ages and abilities can enjoy at the same time in one area.

Park officials say some of the finishing touches, such as sidewalks and landscaping, are not in place yet, but the playground itself is ready for action. A special open house event is scheduled for July 17. The grand opening and ribbon cutting will take place August 13.

Bluhm County Park is located on 1100 West, just northwest of Westville.
