Restrooms and Changing Tables
Little Island has an ADA accessible all-gender restroom available for use. All public restrooms are equipped with changing tables. Restrooms are located near The Glade just past the South Bridge entrance to the park. We encourage patrons to use any restroom that best aligns with their gender identity.
Wheelchairs and Mobility Aids
Little Island is ADA compliant and all areas are accessible using our pathways. The majority of our pathways are paved, but you will encounter dirt when you enter The Glade and grass if you choose to enter the lawns.
We have two loaner wheelchairs available. Please see our park staff if you would like to borrow a wheelchair during your visit. You must leave an ID with our park staff in order to borrow a wheelchair.
For events in The Amph, we have eight wheelchair and scooter-accessible locations available where patrons can remain in their wheelchairs. These locations are available at both the stage level and at the top of the theater. Please reserve this accommodation when you purchase your performance ticket. Wheelchair locations at the top of the theater are also available any time The Amph is open as public space.
Service Animals
Working dogs assisting patrons with disabilities are welcome at Little Island. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed at Little Island, as our horticulture team works hard to maintain our garden beds and lawns that can be soiled by pet waste and activities. We’re a small park with a lot of visitors, and plenty of plants and flowers that need preservation.
