The playground offers a play surface that allows for wheelchairs, walkers, and support braces. Rather than inaccessible apparatuses, the playground provides equipment that encourages activity and aids in overall childhood development. Located at the west end of Horsetooth Road in Fort Collins, this free, outdoor play environment includes safe, state-of-the-art, sensory-rich structures that encourage integration and the development of cognitive, emotional, physical and social skills. It enables children with and without disabilities the opportunity to play independently on the same equipment.

Members of the Rotary Club of Ft. Collins have already donated in excess of $20,000 in support of Inspiration Playground. In addition, the Rotary Club of Ft. Collins is working with the other Rotary clubs in the city to support a permanent endowment fund to provide ongoing funding of programs at Inspiration Playground. These programs include regular offerings of crafts, songs, games, snacks, and facilitated play on the playground. Special events, integrated sports, school field trips and community involvement enhance the learning experiences of the playground.

Inspiration Playground is located in Spring Canyon Park at the west end of Horsetooth Road.
