Prospect Village Community Park is a planned 8-acre oval-shaped park in Sterling Ranch. The park’s vision is focused on elevating the inclusive nature of the space and creating a regional asset for both Sterling Ranch residents and neighboring communities. By including inclusive elements that focus on the needs of all people—those with physical challenges, as well as the needs of the family and support groups around them—playgrounds and parks can be community amenities that unite and bring joy to people of all ages, from all walks of life. On the park's east side, a pool and central gathering area are perched atop the high point, providing spectacular views of the mountains and the park below. The pool has been designed with inclusive elements such as a zero-entry walk-in feature, which allows easier access for children, seniors, and individuals with differing abilities to enter and exit the pool. Below the pool is a large turf field sized to accommodate soccer, active recreation, and organized community events. The north end of the park provides additional recreational opportunities with a basketball court and a small turf area for lawn games. An inclusive playground planned with equipment made for various ages and abilities sits just south of the pool. ADA standards require all playgrounds to be “accessible” for those with physical disabilities but do not necessarily focus on the playground amenities or equipment. By contrast, inclusive playgrounds focus on the needs of all people, including typically developing able-bodied children and those with developmental, intellectual, cognitive, sensory, and physical challenges. Prospect Village Community Park is envisioned as a place that is welcoming to everyone. The inclusive nature of the pool and playground will strive to foster social inclusion and allow children to experience a sense of belonging, actively participate in the community, and share spaces where empathy and friendships blossom. #pcsgroupco #landplanning #urbandesign #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #landarch #3Dvisualization #parks #playgrounds #inclusviedesign #masterplannedcommunitty #sterlingranch #colorado

Considering installing a shade structure over a playground? Make sure that you do your research. 🧐 Shade structures over playgrounds are commonplace in Australia and can be seen in schools, local parks, kindergartens and more. In many cases, shade helps enhance the quality of a child’s play experience in playgrounds. But when it comes to implementation, there are risks that must be managed and details that need to be considered to maximise the value of play and the longevity of the shade.

This weekend I had the pleasure of checking out San Diego's newest public park in Mission Valley: River Park. The site has 2 huge grass areas large enough for multiple sports including soccer, football & rugby, surrounded by a 2 mile loop that's great for hiking or biking. The hardtop courts support four basketball hoops, including two half-courts and a full court, as well as pickleball. There is also fitness equipment, plus concrete table games, which can support soccer pong. A corn hole designated area is also available. The playground is designed for children 2 years old and up, the playground includes a rope climbing tree and play structures with slides and monkey bars. A few jungle gyms for the kids, child rockers, climbing poles, a large swing and 2 slides. The playground is designed with two tiers — one for older children and one for younger — connected by a safe-play slope, offering different challenges for kids. The park is open from dawn until dusk and is owned by San Diego State University, so be sure to pay close attention to the posted parking signs. Parking enforcement was out on Saturday giving tickets when I was there. A few things I think are also important to know: •All street parking is either metered or time-limited. Parking in the stadium lots is not allowed. Certain parking areas will be closed to the public when there is a stadium event. •No smoking of any kind. •No alcohol of any kind. •Dogs must be leashed and under the control of the owner at all times. throughout the park, including walkways and trails. Please clean up after your pet. •Groups of more than 49 persons must obtain a permit to hold or participate in any celebration, parade or special event. Contact mvcomments@sdsu.edu for more information. •it is unlawful to possess any cup, jar or container made of glass and used to carry or containing liquid. •The San Diego River is not accessible via the park. The river is a protected riparian zone. (I definitely noticed some stormwater structural BMP's on-site) It's great to see developers investing in outdoor spaces for all to enjoy. Hope to see around. 🛼 #SunDiego #SanDiego #RiverPark #MissionValley #SDSU #outdoorliving

Through retrofitting an old playground, you are able to transform an existing playground and give it the updates and improvements necessary to meet your community's needs.
