- This playground was made possible by a generous $50,000 grant awarded by Ultimate Playgrounds, Inc. and KOMPAN Playgrounds.
- The playground was designed to feature a wide variety of play types including: spinning, swinging, sliding, climbing, rocking, balancing, imaginative/role-play, and more. The design also features a rubber track which provides better access for children who use assistive devices such as wheelchairs, and crutches.
- The materials selected include a natural hardwood called “Robinia” (black locust), which provides a more immersive, nature-play experience.
- Playground was constructed in the October of 2018.
