Children's Nature Exploration Area
The Tacoma Metropolitan Park District will use this grant to create a unique nature-themed playground at the Tacoma Nature Center. The nature center serves a regional audience with more than 65,000 visitors annually. The playground, being called the Children's Nature Exploration Area, will serve children ages 2-12. It will provide a wide variety of play elements, all designed to mimic the natural environment. Elements will include a water feature and stream, Tree House, Boulder Scramble, Drumlin Slide, Snag Climb, Bridges and Log Crossing. The playground will not only serve the children from the surrounding neighborhood where there is a deficiency of playgrounds but will also give Nature Center visitors an opportunity to burn off some extra energy playing, before settling down to participate in the center’s many environmental education programs. The park district will contribute $456,476 in voter-approved bonds and cash donations. (08-1094)
