Louie’s Together Playground in Tomball: An Inclusive Playground for Kids of All Abilities

Finding an inclusive playground in Tomball where children with different abilities can truly play together can be harder than it should be. That’s one reason Louie’s Together Playground immediately stood out to me.

Located inside Juergens Park at 1331 Ulrich Rd. in Tomball, Louie’s Together Playground was intentionally designed as an inclusive space where children of all abilities can play, explore and spend time together.

And there’s a really sweet story behind it.

Why Louie’s Together Playground Is an Inclusive Playground in Tomball

The playground was inspired by Tomball resident Louie Munson, who was born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, and has a huge love for construction.

After Louie’s dream of becoming a construction worker was shared on social media, author Dr. Nicole Julia was inspired to include dwarfism in her Able Fables children’s book series.

That became Louie’s Together Playground, a story about a construction-loving llama named Louie who works with his friends of different abilities to build a playground where everyone can play.

Louie’s family then approached the City of Tomball about turning the idea from the book into a real playground — and they did.

What makes the playground different?

The playground has a construction theme inspired by Louie and includes accessible and sensory play features.

There are ramps and accessible play structures, sensory experiences, equipment for younger children, artificial turf and large shade structures covering the play space — something Houston-area parents can definitely appreciate. There are also benches throughout the playground for parents and caregivers.

The equipment is designed for ages 2–5 and 5–12.

What I especially love about the idea behind this playground is that inclusion isn't supposed to mean creating a separate place for children who need accommodations. The goal is for children with different abilities to be able to participate in the same space together.

There's more at Juergens Park, too

If you're making a family outing out of it, Juergens Park has more than the inclusive playground.

The park also has a half-mile walking track, basketball court, sand volleyball court, two pickleball courts, picnic areas, water fountains and restrooms. There are ten picnic tables with barbecue pits within sight of the playgrounds, including two wheelchair-accessible tables.

That makes this somewhere you could spend considerably more time than a quick playground stop.

And apparently other people noticed, too

In February 2026, Louie’s Together Playground received recognition through the Houston-Galveston Area Council’s Parks and Natural Areas Awards Program, which recognizes notable parks and natural-area projects throughout the region.

That's a pretty special accomplishment for something that started with one child's love of construction.

The playground is designed for children of all abilities, and the surrounding park gives families plenty of additional space and activities to enjoy.

Why places like this matter to me

As a mom, I know how much the little details can change an outing with your kids. And when you're raising a child who may experience the world differently, finding places where your family genuinely feels considered can mean even more.

That's part of why I want to use this space to share more than houses.

I want to keep finding the parks, activities, neighborhoods, resources and little hidden gems around Houston that make everyday family life better.

If you know another inclusive or sensory-friendly place around Houston that more families should know about, I'd love to hear about it.
