considerhttps://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/14-2.jpeg14-2These ground lights are often solar poweredhttps://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/13-3.jpeg13-3Lighting is another important

touch/sight interactive activity with opportunity for education. https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/13-2.jpeg13-2Last but not least, these net contraptions can be so exciting to stumble upon. Just be careful that they are installed low to the ground to avoid any casualties.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/12-2.jpeg12-2Here's a fairly simple material obstacle course, it would be great for practicing balance!https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/11-2.jpeg11-2Here we have another example of a natural staircase, this time with a slide at the top. Careful though, those metal slides get HOT in the summer!https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/10.png10Interactive, unique, tactile, and sustainable! What a great idea for a natural staircase. https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/9-2.jpeg9-2Small climbing installations are another idea.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/8.webp8Here's another example of touch/sight exploration. This one is cool because it can aid in native plant identification. https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/7.png7Touch and sight are important sense to explore, this example has multiple purposes. The pictures can help young children learn their animals, while older children/teens could (either individually or competitively) engage in a matching game. https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/6-2.jpeg6-2The interactive sound makers come in all different kinds of designs, calling all those musically inclined!2022-05-28T00:48:06+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/frequently-asked-questions/2022-05-17T19:22:46+00:00weekly0.6https://cv-prd.org/volunteer/2022-05-17T19:18:56+00:00weekly0.6https://cv-prd.org/2022/05/15/covered-outdoor-space-and-shade-structures-slideshow/https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/15.jpeg15https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/13-1.jpeg13https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/12-1.jpeg12https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/11-1.jpeg11https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/10-1.jpeg10https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/9-1.jpeg9https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/14-1.jpegSANYO DIGITAL CAMERASANYO DIGITAL CAMERAhttps://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/8-2.jpeg8https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/4-2.jpeg4https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/14.jpegSANYO DIGITAL CAMERASANYO DIGITAL CAMERA2022-05-15T19:13:01+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2022/05/08/park-amenities-slideshow/https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/18.jpeg18Park grills are also a great amenity, this is the most common design for public use.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/17.jpeg17Finally, another more rigid style of bike rack.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16.jpeg16Another more circular style of bike rack.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/15-loop-rack.jpeg15-loop-rackBike racks might be another amenity to think about, this one is known as a loop rack.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/14.webp14This kind of trash can has opportunity to provide doggie bags.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/13.jpeg13Notice how this trash can has a dome lid and is not open to the elements. https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/12.jpeg12Don't forget about trashcans! There is a lower chance of litter and garbage being left behind in the park if there is somewhere to dispose of it.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/11.jpeg11However, park grills can become more creative and aesthetically pleasing.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/10-e1651878875399.jpeg10Park grills are also a great amenity, this is the most common design for public use.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/9.jpeg9Here is yet another style of park bench.2022-05-09T03:46:33+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2022/05/02/natural-playground-slideshow/https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/unnamed-18.jpgunnamed-18I can see this being popular with multiple ages, including some adults.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/unnamed-17.jpgunnamed-17These types of climbing/play structures are excellent for building gross motor skills, and just plain having fun. I keep thinking of this as a King of the Mountain structure. These are happy, healthy kids!https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/unnamed-16.jpgunnamed-16What kid doesn’t want a zip line. It would be good to have a couple for different ages and heights.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/16.jpeg16Incorporating things like this pollinator habitat could provide educational opportunities. Maybe we could include bat houses in our parks, too.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/unnamed-15.jpgunnamed-15Another way to make use of the hill.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/14.jpeg14Something like this could be dug into the slope. Make the logs taller and put in handholds for climbing. Or, make the logs several feet tall so kids can climb them from both inside and outside…storming the fort!https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/13.webp13A cool version of King of the Hill. Great for gross motor skill development, balance...https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/12.jpeg12How many boys will that support? Looks like a whole herd to me.https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/11.jpeg11Who doesn’t want to live in a nest! I’d love to have one just for me!https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/10.jpeg10A small, cool addition. Wish I’d had one in my yard when the kids were small. We could have several of these designed for small motor skills, eye/hand coordination. Maybe some that make music!2022-05-03T05:24:20+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2022/02/13/activity-groups-and-volunteering-with-cvprd/2022-02-13T19:15:54+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2022/01/30/community-gardens/2022-01-30T20:46:54+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2022/01/23/pocket-parks/2022-01-23T20:08:16+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2022/01/16/nature-based-park-design/2022-01-16T20:14:00+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/10/03/columbia-valley-park-and-recreation-district-exciting-winter-and-fall-updates/2022-01-06T01:46:04+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/12/12/history-of-adventure-risk-junk-playgrounds/2021-12-13T01:33:15+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/12/05/new-york-citys-riskiest-park-playgroundnyc/2021-12-06T01:33:21+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/11/11/a-peek-into-the-park-planning-process-part-3-2/2021-11-11T21:29:23+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/10/18/a-peek-into-the-park-planning-process-part-3/2021-10-18T23:07:18+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/07/15/why-parks-matter-to-carl-isom-mcdaniel/2021-10-17T23:05:24+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/07/22/why-parks-matter-to-jessica-bee-ii/2021-10-17T23:05:05+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/07/29/why-parks-matter-to-jessica-bee-iii/2021-10-17T23:04:22+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/08/05/why-parks-matter-to-maureen-brown/2021-10-17T23:04:04+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/08/12/why-parks-matter-to-jessica-bee-iv/2021-10-17T23:03:49+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/08/22/benefits-of-different-kinds-of-park-equipment/2021-10-17T23:03:19+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/08/29/designing-creating-and-maintaining-safe-parks/2021-10-17T23:03:03+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/09/26/a-peek-into-the-park-planning-process-part-2/2021-10-17T23:02:49+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/09/21/a-peek-into-the-park-planning-process-part-1/2021-10-17T23:02:27+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/07/08/why-parks-matter-to-jessica-bee-i/2021-08-12T23:04:12+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/07/01/intergenerational-benefits-of-parks/2021-07-01T18:45:47+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/06/24/benefits-of-parks-for-children-ages-0-5/2021-06-24T13:40:53+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/06/17/benefits-of-parks-for-children-ages-5-12/https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/kids-5445195_1920-e1623977201592.jpgkids-5445195_19202021-06-18T00:49:38+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/06/10/benefits-of-parks-for-teenager/https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/skate-629746_1920.jpgskate-629746_19202021-06-10T19:11:43+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/06/03/benefits-of-parks-for-young-adults/https://cv-prd.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/girl-1718427_1920-1.jpggirl-1718427_19202021-06-10T18:38:52+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/05/27/benefits-of-parks-for-adults-with-no-children/2021-06-03T21:33:26+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2021/05/20/benefits-of-parks-for-elders/2021-05-21T03:00:00+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2017/01/03/first-meeting-5m-january-12-2017/2020-12-05T20:03:46+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2018/10/11/please-vote-yes-on-the-2018-6-levy/2020-12-05T20:01:14+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2020/10/07/example-post/2020-12-05T19:57:23+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/2020/10/19/example-post-2/2020-12-05T19:49:58+00:00monthlyhttps://cv-prd.org/about/2020-11-14T23:38:44+00:00weekly0.6https://cv-prd.org/blog/2020-11-14T23:38:41+00:00weekly0.6https://cv-prd.orgdaily1.02025-10-31T00:55:48+00:00
