For safety, playground equipment is designated by age group and is shaded, fenced in and handicap accessible. It has been developed by Landscape Structures, a leading playground manufacturer.
In addition to the new playground, families can enjoy Tot Spot every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon in Atlantic Station’s Central Park. The weekly event offers family-friendly activities for young children.
