Hendrick Park Playground

Located in Hendrick Park, the Foundation’s natural children’s playground is open to all. The park was designed by Hendrick Farm Inc. to engage children from a range of age groups in a natural setting. The majority of the park is built using natural materials from the area, and it includes a variety of balance beams, log climbers, and steps, as well as swings, monkey bars, slides, and so much more. A children’s garden with multiple raised beds and a rustic hand pump gives children the opportunity to care for plants and interact with nature. This is part of the community garden initiative.

When it came to planning the Hendrick Park Playground, it was important that it fit into the natural environment while fostering a sense of adventure and exploration often lacking in modern parks. Various studies have shown that unstructured free play is crucial to the social development and brain development of children. We highly recommend you bring your little ones for a visit!
