Swan Creek MetroPark, Toledo, OH
Set along the meandering Swan Creek, this metropark—one of more than 15—features a unique landscape. The creek’s winding curves create oxbows: bowing ponds made when high water changes the stream’s route.
When the customer came to us wanting a unique, hybrid play space, we used the landscape as inspiration. We studied the available space in person and worked with the park to develop a concept.
A net form for ages 2-5 mimics the oxbows of the preserve, and has two shade shelters with activities where little ones can relax. A custom net and two hill slides make use of the space’s natural contours. The main structure takes inspiration from post-and-platform systems, but replaces platforms with nets—something that would later inspire us to create infiNET™.
