General Consensus on Concept Plans: • One main entrance into play area • Concern with parking being too close • Liked integrating restrooms as sculptural gateway into play area • Provide a variety of picnicking opportunities • Integrate various plant species for sensory experience • Include artistic sand and water play • Use natural materials as much as possible • Play mound has many opportunities for play (climbing, sliding, etc.) • Use natural grades as much as possible and limit ramps • Concern for sun. Integrate shade as much as possible. • Include musical elements and moving panels for limited hand motion.
