Leo’s Landing Inclusive Playground at Saluda Shoals Park breaks ground for expansion
July 21, 2021
- Connection Park – a musical entryway sets the tone for a low energy, decompression space providing opportunities for interpersonal connections in intimate spaces including a reading and kindness corner, hammock park, hobbit village, and a whimsical tree
- Mogul Village – an off-trail adventure with topography changes to encourage imaginative exploration, experimentation, and unstructured play like running, jumping, rolling, and climbing through various terrain and equipment challenges.
- Mogul Outpost – Featuring a revolutionary swing where multiple children of all abilities can swing together and an open format and a play scape structure with intriguing challenges that defy expectations
- Zip Krooz – a high thrill two-way zip line which includes recumbent and disc seats for diverse skills and bodies
Designed by Morgan Grimball, Grimball Cotterill Landscape Architects and constructed by Contract Construction, this $1.7 million expansion to the existing playground will transform the area into an immersive experience that connects children and adults of all abilities with nature. The expansion project is expected to be complete in early 2022, and sponsorship opportunities are still open for residents, organizations, and businesses.
