Playground equipment-Clemyjontri, McLean, VA
It’s easy to see why one of Cunningham Recreation‘s favorite playgrounds is this gigantic, accessible, amusement park of a playground. An aerial shot of this monstrosity shows just how large and colorful it is:
Once you look beyond the stimulating colors and GameTime playground equipment, you will begin to see the educational elements that G.E Fielder & Associates, Chartered wove into every area of this playground.
Children can learn about the colors of the rainbow (ROYGBIV) and the color wheel. Budding mathematicians can practice counting numbers as they wander around the playground. History buffs can learn interesting transportation facts, and everyone can practice memorizing the states all in the context of fun and play.
Wabun Picnic Area, Minnehaha Regional Park, Minneapolis, MN:
While this playground could have easily been one of our top accessible playgrounds, as over 90% of it is accessible to children with disabilities, we instead chose to place it in this category because of how creatively Landscape Structures has interwoven the area’s past into the present.
According to Landscape Structures, the playground takes a “step back in time with its thematic nod to its origins as an auto tourist camp. It also takes a giant step forward as the first inclusive playground within the city’s parks system.” In essence, they have created a timeless memorial that children can play on and enjoy for years to come.
