THE VISION » Created a flagship natural playscape in an area that is currently underutilized, but close to existing campsites and unique caboose cabins. » The natural playscape will include elements of the existing park's historical, geographical, and iconic characteristics. » Used a natural playscape to replace aging and limited traditional play equipment. THE PARTICIPANTS » Collected information from Two Rivers staff, agency park superintendents, NGPC planners, other NGPC staff, and a design consultant. » Will collect user preferences from RV groups and park users. THE PROCESS » Held initial design charrette on site where two locations were evaluated and analyzed. » Created concept from ideas generated at design charrette to be phased for development. » Ground breaking on phase one will occur when funding is determined and remaining phases will be constructed as funding is secured. THE SITE » The site was selected because of the berm features, which provide changes of elevation, other varied environments, and micro climates located within the area. » The site was selected due to proximity to lodging and existing parking.
