Forever Young Treehouses promotes the construction of universally accessible treehouses across the country. While accessible treehouses provide a memorable experience for everyone, we focus on treehouse construction for children and young adults with special needs who are routinely confronted with barriers to fun and play in their daily lives. An accessible treehouse removes these obstacles, bringing people of all abilities together and closer to nature.

In April 2007, a wheelchair-accessible project called Everybody’s Treehouse opened in Mount Airy Forest. Partnerships between the Cincinnati Parks Board, Home Depot, The Cincinnati Rotary, The Marvin Lewis Foundation as well as Drees Construction and the Cincinnati Homebuilder’s Association made the house possible. Not only is the treehouse ADA-compliant, it is very unique and very, very cool.

To get to the labyrinth, enter Burnet Woods on the Ludlow side. Pass the Trailside Nature Center on your right. When you come to the three-way stop, take the road to your right. About a quarter of the way up the hill, three trails will be on your right. Take the middle path into the woods. The entrance of the labyrinth is a stone threshold with a cow painted on it.
