How do you bring new life to a century-old park?
A ramp full of interactive play structures will weave its way around the park. Enclosed by mesh, the pathway becomes a theater-like space to be enjoyed from every angle.

An elevated ramp rises to a height of six feet.
The plan brings new life to the once asphalt-covered site.
Children can create their own games with sand, water, and loose Imagination Playground blocks. Spaces appeal to all senses—sound funnels and speakers, water jets, and a repurposed shipping container are united by a playful tree house motif.

The park is designed to give children the sense of playing in a forest canopy.

Like the play elements, new plant varieties will add color.

The space is designed for children ages two to 12, but features adult rec areas as well.

Play structures include a bridge, poles for climbing, periscopes, and an Imagination Playground kit.
