Comments

The North Mountain Park Nature Play Area is built out of only natural materials and is designed to encourage imaginative play with many moveable components. The water pump and channels component is design to allow wheelchair access to play in the water channels. A boardwalk over a small wetland is equipped with edge protection. There are 5 benches and the Messy Materials Area has a table that allows for wheelchair access.
