STREAMS INTERACTIVE
STREAMS combines nature, sensory, social, interactive, and cognitive play in one aesthetically pleasing, functionally durable package. Best of all, children power the action.

Swampoodle Park
In the tiny footprint of a corner lot, designers were asked to shoehorn in a dog park, some seating space and a play area for older children. The solution was to go vertical for play with a Wallholla. Rising to three stories, it has undulating ramps and handholds for climbing, jumping and sliding. A ladder-like set of slings hangs through all levels. Lee & Associates used the lateral Wallholla as a structural boundary to separate the pocket park’s two main areas.
