NC Zoo Kidzone Playground

NC Zoo Kidzone Playground

CLH worked closely with exhibit designers at North Carolina Zoo to provide landscape architeture design and civil engineering services for the design and construction of a universally accessible, ¾ acre natural playground which features an artificial flowing stream with a wheelchair-accessible splash table and small waterfalls, an 1,100-square foot standing stone labyrinth, a 650-square foot covered sandy fossil dig area with a wheelchair-accessible sand table and other fun activity stations for children ages 2 – 10.  The accessible stream feature allows plenty of room for jumping and splashing. A “Mud Café” is a fun feature where kids can assemble messy play meals for their families and friends.  The Treetop Trails provide a great vantage point for viewing the park. Design development and construction implementation for this zoo park playground was a highly collaborative process between the NC Zoo and CLH.
