This nature-themed custom playground in Punta Gorda, Florida provides endless excitement for kids with treehouse-like play towers and bright green "limon"-colored play components that reflect the lush surrounding area.

A section for preschoolers ages 2 to 5 offers gross motor and sensory exploration to enhance early childhood growth. A crawl tunnel, slide and sensory panels invite them to learn and challenge their bodies and minds, while a nearby Bobble Rider offers the vestibular movement they crave.

Two tall PlayBooster® towers constructed with Recycled Plastic Lumber give the appearance of a forest hideaway for children ages 5 to 12, and custom GFRC hollow log elements make the environment look and feel even more authentic. A thrilling Traveler Climber connecting the two towers offers risk-takers a fun challenge as they navigate the wobbly crossing high in the air.

A double-bay ZipKrooz® zipline with an inclusive seat option and a multiple-bay swing set makes the feeling of soaring through the treetops even more real. Looking to cool off on a hot day? An Aquatix splash pad is right next door.
