Kid doing a flip off of rock play structure

Over the past decade a groundswell of play advocates–including parents, teachers and designers – have begun arguing that a reasonable level of risk in play is essential to children’s healthy development. Play scholarship uses the term risk as a shorthand for environments and activities that challenge children’s physical coordination, social skills, creative imagination and other desirable qualities.

Play elements like the slide, climbing walls, and bridges were designed specifically to help kids achieve feelings of great heights and rapid speeds, while small nooks in the rock outcrops and winding paths capture a sense of mystery

There are no fences separating the play zones from each other or from the rest of the park. Instead, children and families enter the spaces fluidly from all directions, and play spills out into nearby lawns, paths, and the flexible area beneath the bridge abutment.

The new generation of adventure playgrounds excel at inspiring physical activity, a sense of risk and the feelings of pride that go along with accomplishing a difficult challenge

Children have multiple opportunities to interact with water at the park’s adventure playscapes

Every surface of the adventure playground has to be able to withstand both potential floods and the clean up, including being washed and sanitized after potentially-contaminated floodwaters recede, so that children can return to a safe and clean play environment

在周边的滨水区规划了一个横跨六个街区的混合功能开发，它将为此区带来约400个居住单元和办公室以及多种商业活动。

The park is illuminated and there is a glowing ferris wheel in the background.

The park is designed as a series of terraces that create a ceremonial sense of place and also help protect the park and neighboring communities from rising floodwaters by creating a series of hard-edge boundaries

At night, the park is transformed by illuminated water features

Programming in the park offers people an array of daytime and nighttime activities
