Saint Peters’ nature-based playground is nearing the finish line with new and exciting additions to round out the space

Saint Peter’s has created a rain garden to cut down on impervious surfaces, filter out stormwater pollutants, and overall, strengthen local biodiversity.

New additions this week at the Saint Peter’s playground include climbing features, a stocked playhouse, and a hammock for downtime.

More natural elements are being added to Saint Peter’s nature playground each week, including a stepping stone path, climbing ropes for support, and a stone slab bridge at the end of the mosaic stream.

The Saint Peter’s nature playground is really coming to life! The mosaic stream is in, and work’s underway on the climbing structure.

More progress is unfolding at Saint Peter’s nature playground! From a hillside slide and stump scramble to a shimmering mosaic stream and swing set in the works, this nature-based play space is quickly coming to life.

Progress on the Saint Peter’s nature-based playground continues, with exciting new feature beginning to take shape!

Construction is underway on Saint Peter’s new nature playground, marking the exciting beginning of this outdoor play space.
