Overview:
The space includes an amorphous log climber and a stump cluster, which encourage big body play and physical coordination. For sensory play, a mud kitchen, loose-parts log trough, and sand area offer opportunities for tactile and imaginative exploration. A stump activity table and a milled log bench provide quieter spaces for reflection and contemplative play. Wacky posts add versatility, adaptable to a wide range of activities and play styles. Granite landscape rock, sourced and supplied by the property owner, further enhances the natural aesthetic of the space, creating a harmonious connection with the surrounding environment. This thoughtful design ensures an inclusive, accessible play experience for very young children, fostering learning, development & unstructured play in a nurturing and natural setting.
Background
Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds completed a sensory-rich outdoor learning environment at Stratton Mountain Resort Child Care, designed specifically for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. Nestled in the scenic Colorado mountainside in the town of Stratton, the playground blends natural elements with engaging play features that support both gross motor skill development and sensory exploration.
