Silver Falls Natural Playground
Salem, Oregon, USA

The existing playground at the Salem Child Development Center will undergo a dramatic transformation. The playground now is a large asphalt area bound by buildings and a tall chain link fence. This enviromenment will soon become a natural playscape with a wetland pond, trees and vines. An existing large concrete wall will feature a mural of Silver Falls, a nearby natural area. The mural was designed by LandCurrent in conjunction with the design of the new playground. Elements of the natural playground will "flow" into the mural. A local high school class will paint the mural as part of their senior arts project.
