- Swings
The swings feature two different styles of seating to enable children with diverse needs to experience motion. One swing is arm-powered and the other has a hard base for easy transfer.
- Flying Fox
The Flying Fox enables children to experience the rush of free-flying motion in the safety of a modified seat, which includes high back support and a chest harness.
- Carousel
The carousel provides children with a feeling of spinning while suspended in the air, all while they're in the safety of harnessed chairs.
- Climbing Net
The climbing net tests children's strength, gross motor skills and coordination. The bottom of net meets sand underneath to allow transfer.
- Hammock
The playground's chill-out area includes a hammock which enables children to experience a slow-rocking, side-to-side movement.
