Playground

Climb, explore and play in a colorful space designed for children of all abilities.

The playground: faceted climbing boulders on red poured rubber, a play tower with red canopies and a yellow spiral slide, a rope-and-disc climbing arch at the right, and a ramp with metal handrails running up the left side.

Let their imaginations lead

The fun, open design creates an inviting space for children and adults to enjoy shaded, colorful, and unique stretch cover tops.

The artistic design of the playground creates a fun whimsical feel along with the foam-type material on the ground.

The contemporary design of this innovative play zone accommodates an enjoyable active-play water feature. When the water’s turned off, the deck transforms into a small platform for music performances, puppet shows or family storytelling.
