Craighead Forest Park Playground

Jonesboro, AR USA

Image

Playground Overview

Craighead Forest Park was created after the director of parks and recreation traveled through Ireland and saw similarities between the landscape of that country and the 600 acres of Craighead Forest Park in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Such a park needed its own castle, too. So we created a PlayBooster® playstructure complete with castle walls, a multi-level tower and turrets that take shade to a whole new place (and time). Kids ages 5 to 12 pretend to be knights, queens and kings while sheep Whimsy Riders™ graze outside the castle.
