This wetland-themed custom playground in Punta Gorda, Florida is sure to impress with multiple one-of-a-kind play features! A bright-green custom alligator climbing structure is sure to draw oohs, aahs and eager explorers. Made with geometrically shaped perforated metal panels, the Florida gator hides all sorts of fun play options, whether kids are exploring inside or climbing on the outside! 

Follow the gator's open mouth to find a bright orange custom fish climber. With sensory panels and a shorter slide, this fish is ideal for preschool kids to play and explore at their own level.

What's more, a custom fishing boat playhouse adds to the wetland theme, as does the colorful pour-in-place surfacing depicting marshland. Lifelike GFRC farm animals and wildlife add a playful twist, and enhance the local feel.

Freestanding play items such as the inclusive We-Go-Round® and the multi-person Oodle® Swing are great options for kids to find the motion they crave. And best of all, SkyWays® shade sails overhead ensure that the fun can continue on even the sunniest of days.
