Grams Park Nature Play Improvements

When Grams Park’s traditional playground reached the end of its useful life, the County wanted to replace it with a nature play area. The landscape architect facilitated a community-grounded visioning process, grant application, and award, which set the project up for construction. The new nature play area offers site-sensitive, creative play opportunities for visitors of all ages and abilities; a need that was emphasized throughout engagement. The intentional design democratizes participation, making nature-based play just as accessible and exciting for those with mobility limitations and sensory-processing disorders as it is for families without those considerations.
