Project Summary

Bringing big play in a small space, this playground located near the City of LA Recreation Center at Van Nuys-Sherman Oaks Park offers fun for all ages under huge shade canopies. A Netplex® 14-post tower with a 40’ diameter shade sail, plus Skyport™ and Watermill™ Climbers, turns 5-12-year-olds into adventurous climbers challenging themselves to further heights. A We-saw™ offers a fun group activity with four backed seats at wheelchair transfer height so everyone can get in on the fun – there’s even room in the center for an additional rider. A pair of Curva® Spinners lets kids ride and spin in tandem. An integrated shade sail over the swing set keeps kids cool while they swing. And the Smart Play® Motion structure for 2-5-year-olds, with a whimsical and modern design, has sixteen interactive activities which address developmentally appropriate skills in a compact space to keep little ones busy and entertained.
