PROJECT OVERVIEW

Description:
Clover Park Playground was designed by the Buchens in collaboration with Rios Associates. The park's proximity to the historic Clover Field airfield prompted an aviation and flight theme for the play space. Design elements include an observation tower with a spiral stairway leading to the top platform, where children can view the park and air traffic through a binocular viewer. They can also communicate through interconnected speaking/listening tubes along the stairway, at the base of the tower, and at the end of the bike 'runway' adjacent to the tower. Other elements include: a flight seat in the shape of a boomerang; painted graphics of kites, birds, planes, and insects on concrete seating pads; and a 'sonic' seesaw.
