I am helping out with the redesign of the Seward Park play-area. This is a first pass at a design that I am proposing. We will be working with an architecture firm to fully realize the project. My main goals of this design are:
should work well in the rain
not look like "fake" trees or nature elements
incorporate a small stage and seats (amphitheatre)
