Project Summary

The word Runnymede derives from the phrase “meeting in a meadow” – celebrated by this meadow-themed playground with vibrant colors, tall flowers, butterflies, and a fun path through the grass. At the south end, a four-bay swing set with bucket, belt, and inclusive harness seat options, plus a Friendship® Swing, casts cooling shade over the pre-school play structure and Acorn Seat area, which has room for four with three seats and an inclusive spot for those using a mobility device. Learning Wall play panels hide nearby under some tall flowers to offer further fun for preschoolers and school-aged kids, plus parents and caregivers too. Along the other side, a two-track 34’ ZipKrooz® with integrated shade has thrills for everyone with both disc and harness seats. The tall, shaded play structure for 5-12-year-olds has a variety of challenging paths up, including Netplex® and Chimney Climbers, and some twisting slides to get back down. And in the center of it all is a Global Motion® with two-levels of accessible, spinning fun. Be sure to bring your butterfly net!
