mean, the small walkway that was done last year at East was $10/sf install of brick and we supplied all the materials. I’ll need to know sooner rather than later since I’m getting currently getting quotes on either concrete or gravel pathways inside the playground.
spray it if need be prior to install.
from there. Nick and I have discussed doing 2 smaller top offs instead of one large one, probably spring and fall roughly 30 yards each.
take the one down near the parks garage. The one closest to the building looks like it survived pretty well, but the other one is pretty much lost.

made by children to include hand prints, leaf prints, shells, marbles, colored tile mosaics, or smooth glass. Glass blocks or clay bricks can be laid in the sensory pathway to add additional sensory richness and variety. Sensory pathways should be considered part
be installed as a narrow (18"-24"), short loop off the primary pathway (Figure 1) or a broad (36"-72") connection between settings

immersed in sensory plants. Keyhole gardens are shaped like a skeleton keyhole with a narrow entry and bulbous, interior space wide enough for a young child or two to sit and reach the plantings on either side (approximately 24”
subspace along a sensory path or be designed as a stand- alone setting.

texture and scent, provide year-round sensory interest, and be planted within easy reach. Often, the gardens for children are in raised planters because most children are taught not to touch the plant material. Perennials, groundcovers, ornamental grasses, small shrubs and edible plants can be incorporated.

actually 7 senses? In addition to the traditional five senses, there is the proprioceptive sense, which is the sensation of your body’s movement and the relative positioning of body parts. Can you close your eyes and then touch your finger to your nose? You are able to do this because your body is using its proprioceptive sense. Your body also has the vestibular sense, which is the sensation of the pull of gravity on your body, largely sensed through bones in your ears, which allows you to always sense which way is upwards. Close your eyes and lean the whole back of your body against a wall. Then close your eyes and lie down on the floor. Does it feel different? This is your body’s vestibular sense that allows you to sense this difference.
10
climbing, swinging, sliding, spinning, and jumping. Can you integrate some structures in your sensory garden to activate these little known senses? How about adding a treetop swing, or a zip line to stimulate the vestibular sense? Or maybe you want to build a children’s labyrinth (here are some great images), use logs to create balance beams, create a structure for kids to climb on or over, or create hopscotch stepping stones in order to stimulate the proprioceptive sense.
