Williams Park Playground
Purpose
To design and build a play space that would emulate a saw mill using natural materials as Williams Park was historically part of the forestry industry.
Components
Custom Saw Mill Playground: A giant saw blade emerging though the main cedar deck with large, debossed saw blades constructed out of concrete. This feature not only creates the look of an old saw mill deck but acts as a foundation to the cedar deck. The main deck leads to a challenge circuit complete with stump hopping, navigation over a swinging rope bridge, crossing of a rigid arch bridge and finally balancing over a rope walk.
Custom Spring Board Stump: This piece of equipment is designed to replicate the old technique of using spring boards to access the optimal height for falling trees using crosscut saws. The stump has multiple levels of spring boards giving access to a custom dual acting “cross cut saw” which gives the users the idea of sawing down the tree.
