Nestled under peppermint trees, the new nature playground at Alderley Park in Wilson is designed to entice children to jump, climb, slide, hide and discover natural elements in a dynamic play environment.

A timber giant offers a climbing challenge and a great view from the top, while the humpback climber with its naturally twisted timbers reminds us all what fun it is (or was!) to climb trees. A traditional slide and swings feature, as well as interesting logs and rocks for climbing and balancing. The cubby is a perfect opportunity to seek out loose sticks and branches to create a hideout, and carved top logs will collect water in the cooler months. A looking glass gives the opportunity to closely examine found pieces of nature.
