The striking Rainbow trout-inspired custom built play feature with a dramatic “splash” climbing wall serves as the playground’s centerpiece, inviting children of all ages to engage in dynamic and adventurous play. With 360 degrees (and varied difficulty levels) of climbing for children and adults of all abilities, this play space has something for everyone. The playground has beautifully hand painted with leaf shaped wobble boards, a disc swing, a log climber, and an accessible trampoline, which draws everyone in! This playground ensures a diverse and inclusive play experience, fostering movement, exploration, and fun for everyone.
DYK- The Rainbow Trout is one of the more prominent species that call the Bow River home?
We work with our clients to create spaces that do more than just invite people to play. Our spaces connect people to the land through creative story telling while paying homage to the local flora and fauna.
