[video: large landscaping rock with Emeral Park name and address printed on it on the edge of the park parking lot. Walkways lead to and around a large play area with a custom play tour. Man stands and speaks to camera. White text in lower right of screen reads “Matt Roth, Park Projects Manager, Castle Rock, Colorado”.]

Mark: This is Emeral Park, it’s the town’s newest multigenerational park. We had a few goals in mind, we’ve got some expansive views that we wanted to capture. We also wanted something unique and custom that we don’t have elsewhere in town.

[video: Full elevated view of the park and surrounding activities with the town in the distance. Continued view of the play area of the park from an elevated view. Children play all over the large play area.]

Mark: So we reached out to Rocky Mountain Rec and Landscape Structures to help make that vision a reality. We worked with them to kind of just develop the tower and the color selections.

[video: a secondary play structure sits in foreground as the larger custom structure designed like the golden ratio spiral. Vertical pan of the multi-colored greens and orange panels that make up the curve roof of the tower. Internal view of the light coming through the see through and perforated panels making up the roof of the tower. Elevated rotating view of the tower as children climb to the top.]

Mark: Really gave us a wide range of customizations to meet the goal. The height of the tower is great to capture that view. And it really has made a huge impact on our community and meet that multigenerational goal that we had.

[video: vertical outer pan from the bottom of the tower to the top. Elevated view of the tower as children play all around. Elevated view of children playing all around the play area. Full areal view of the play area. Connecting sidewalks, walking paths, and setting areas surround the play area.]

Mark: For multigenerational, we’re looking at how do we provide the most impact for a wide range of age groups and abilities. For this park we’ve got our amenities, such as pickle ball, we’ve got bocce ball, we’ve got gathering space. We’ve got inclusive play features; we’ve got climbing features.

[video: blurred grass fills the foreground as camera pans up to the custom tower. A woman and boy push together to spin a inclusive carousel spinner. Children wait their turn as two boys swing on a multi-person swing that allows riders to face each other. Camera is mounted to the multi-person swing facing one of the riders. He smiles as he swings. Full elevated view of children playing all over the park. A mother sits with her son on her lap swinging in the multi-person swing.]

Mark: We’ve got a wide range of play equipment from 2 to 5 and 5 to 12. We’ve got basketball. So we’re really trying to check off all the boxes that meets those needs of those different age groups so that your whole family can come here, play and have a great time.

[video: girl brings her eye to look through a periscope at the top of the tower. View of a boy riding the inside of the carousel spinner. Girl sits at top of tube slides and rides down. View of the custom tower as children play on its different activities. A girl holds the camera in her hand. She walks into the tower and looks down at the camera quickly. She holds the camera facing herself as she rides down a tube slide. Screen jumps to white. A black line draws itself center screen as the Rocky Mountain Rec logo slides out to the right as the Landscape Structures logo slides to the left. The black line morphs into a plus symbol. Video ends.]

At Emerald Park, nature and art swirl together in a playground that feels both earthy and abstract. Designed for children ages 2–12, this striking play space celebrates movement through its spiral-inspired structures and modern, nature-infused design. Bright limon and tangerine colors pop against sand-hued surfacing, echoing the tones of the surrounding landscape while adding a fresh, contemporary twist.

The centerpiece is a custom spiral tower that resembles a tall snail shell, accessible via stairs or a cable-net climbing option. This innovative structure creates a play experience as dynamic as it is beautiful with its many connected play features and two tunnel slides that spiral back to the ground. A second tower is accessible by natural-looking rock and log steppers and offers engaging learning panels and a slide, while colorful accent panels reach toward the sky in a complementary spiral shape.

Inclusive touches like the custom-panelled We-Go-Round®, Friendship® Swing, and Rhapsody® Outdoor Musical Instruments ensure everyone can play together. Emerald Park perfectly balances natural inspiration with modern artistry—an energizing landscape of curves, color, and connection.
