At St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Elementary School, an older plastic play structure was removed to make way for a lush natural playground. A new outdoor amphitheatre offers a gathering space for students. The natural log climber perched in a hill provides a vantage point to view the entire play space, along with abundant climbing activities for the kids. In addition to the new play elements, complimenting the few existing locust trees are a diverse host of native trees and shrubs offering shade, sensory activities for the students, and a direct connection to the natural world.
