The project team utilized the landscape of Garden City to provide an experientially rich play environment that fosters children's physical, emotional, social and cognitive development.
The park is an organic, flowing space where the structures and systems combine to create a setting that invokes the natural world and reflects the regional character of the Pacific Northwest. Interaction with elements and processes such as water, stone, sand, salvaged tree limbs and ribbons of perennial vegetation provides children with an essential connection to larger natural systems and nurtures in them a responsibility to protect these systems.
