Gateway Park’s central playground offers activities and play opportunities for kids of all ages. The venue will primarily be nature-based, with play equipment utilizing a restrained palette of materials. Sited directly adjacent to the plaza and pavilion at The Central Yard, the playground offers ample seating, bathrooms and refreshment options close at hand.
Gateway Park’s diverse natural landscapes—from fields and meadows, to woodland canopies, to rolling hillsides—provide park visitors innumerable opportunities for informal play, exploration, and learning. For example, stream restorations not only improve water quality but will also offer opportunities for creative and science-based nature play.
Discrete, structured park activities are nested within the more expansive natural landscapes of Gateway Park. Connected by an extensive network of paved and unpaved trails—for both pedestrian and bikes—exploration of the 100-acre park grounds is a new adventure waiting to happen every day.
