The Grand Opening of Rocket’s Universe at North Weddington Park took place June 2, 2017. This amazing piece is an all inclusive playground designed by Shanes’s Inspiration (Diane Scanlan). All made possible through the generosity of the family of John Taylor “Rocket” Williams IV. The astronomy-themed PlayBooster® features panels and signals to encourage conversations and early promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills for children.

These engaging DigiFuse® panels allows children to explore a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and additional learning.

Rocket’s Universe has unique play systems which invite children to develop their physical skills while learning the social skills needed for community life.
