The stunning, colorful Live Oak Park playground in Temple City, CA isn’t just a place to play — it’s a cosmic adventure that's more like stepping into a science-fiction cartoon landscape that's unlike anything kids (or adults) have seen before. Designed with a bold, space-age theme, this destination playground rockets beyond ordinary play, transforming climbing, spinning, and swinging into an out-of-this-world experience.

Soaring overhead, custom SkyWays® shade structures sweep across the play space in a futuristic arc, casting dramatic shapes against the sky. Beneath them, young explorers dive into a universe of discovery: twin rocket-shaped PlayBooster® towers that launch imaginations sky-high, a Hedra® Scout for preschoolers with its geometric playscape, and angular Hedra® swing frames that push the limits of design. The exhilarating Global Motion® spinner and multiple swing designs ensure that every child, caregiver, and community member finds their place in the adventure. Even the safety surfacing adds to the drama — its bold colors and bumpy textures mimic the rocky surface of another planet.

As part of Temple City’s visionary renovations, Live Oak Park sets a new standard for epic, inclusive play — a playground where visitors of all ages and abilities can step into another planet while stepping into their local park.
