Connecting children with nature

In Florida’s most densely populated county, you’ll find Boyd Hill Nature Preserve with 245 acres of pristine Florida wilderness. The Preserve has roughly 6 miles of trails through a variety of natural habitats that is used for environmental education programs and school field trips. In the middle of this pristine wilderness, where alligators and birds roam free, you’ll find a wooden Robinia playground. The Organic Robinia playground fits perfectly into the wild nature of Boyd Hill Nature Preserve and is often used as part of environmental education programs for children. The playgrounds natural materials invite children to learn about nature and how to preserve it, all while having fun and enjoying themselves.

Nature Playground With Lots of Fun Activities

The children love the new Robinia playground, with play towers, wooden play houses, and obstacle course playground equipment which allows them to explore and play anything from hide and seek to obstacle races. The rich variety of activities in the obstacle course help children reap the benefits of nature play, like improving important physical skills such as balance and cross-coordination. The obstacle course also helps children train social-emotional skills, such as cooperation and turn-taking. Spinner plates and Springers can help children from a young age train balance and spatial awareness. The forest shop, with its play counter and sand activities, invites children to come together for hours of fun and creativity.
