What We're Building

A Playground for Every Kind of Kid

New Playground Structure

Multi-level structure of swings, monkey bars, and bridges for all our climbers and movers.

Natural Play Area & Turf Log and Tumble Area

Sand, creek beds, and open-ended materials for all our builders and dreamers. A place to play tag, balance on logs and looks at the clouds.

Shade Structure and Play Shed

Shaded seating, flexible gathering areas, and revitalized flooring in the play shed for all our observers and readers.

Inclusive Design for ADA Students

At Westside, we have a "school within a school" serving children with developmental and physical limitations who currently can't access any play features. The new playground will include pathways and ADA accessible features so that all children at Westside can enjoy the thrills of play and a sense of inclusion and community.
