Walker Johnston Park, Urbandale, IA, Play Solution

The Urbandale Parks department wanted to add to the play footprint of the Walker Johnston park by creating a route to make it easy and fun to get from the bottom of the slide back to the top. The solution ABcreative consultant Larry Rife recommended was a climbing net parallel to the slide plus Playground Grass Ultra because the steepness of the hill created issues with the natural grass beside the slide - the traffic up and down made maintaining it difficult.
