In Progress: Nature-inspired playgroundMarch 1, 2024
Construction begins in May 2024, with an expected completion date of August 2024.
During community engagement about the new park space, people expressed a desire to maintain the area’s “natural look.” The site is suitable for a nature-inspired playground that is accessible, promotes active play and uses elements from nature.
This playground consists of elements and textures from the earth, such as trees, tree stumps, logs, boulders, and plants, instead of traditional steel playgrounds. These natural play areas are all-inclusive and accessible and provide opportunities for children of all ages and abilities to play, explore, and be challenged by natural elements.
