orchestra - kids will often role play and imitate their parents, teachers, etc. This element takes on that facet of parallel play and transitions it to the musical world.

octave arc - important note: to prevent cacophony, a single scale is used throughout the scape, indicated by the colors shown here. (ex. any where you see red, its an E note)

slide - as you slide down you stick out your hand to create chimed music. (note the colored paddles for consistancy)

climbing element - this entire scape is ment to seamlessly compliment a surrounding natural setting, though this one most literally makes this point.

centerpiece - as you climb up, the sections depress, which causes a peripheral chime to ring out. also, the semi-enclosed space below could lend itself to imagination (fortress, house, batcave, etc). Often times, the unintentionally designed spaces in existing playgrounds, like the space underneath the stairs, become the most intrigueing places for the imagination.


Playground Concept - this render is a combination of rhino and a little photoshop.
