Project Summary

With four 20’ Flower Shades and a 3,330 SF joined sails shade structure blocking up to 97% of the sun’s UV rays while making temperatures underneath up to 30°F cooler, park visitors can stay more comfortable on bright, hot days. The nature-themed playground uses seat walls to separate the play areas by age. The preschool play area has a custom 8-Arch Dome play structure with a transfer station, Lava Run Slide, and variety of sensory-engaging play panels, linked to a Log Balance Beam and three Log Steppers. A Log Crawl Tunnel, Saddle Spinner, and custom Prairie Grass Activity Panel complete the play area for younger kids. Two nearby clusters of Log Steppers provide a lift onto the steel-lined cables of the Eclipse® Net Climber – which is secured to a Blender™ Spinner where kids use their body weight to spin the day away!
