Oregon Ridge - Nature Play Space

The Nature Play Space at Oregon Ridge provides a wonderful space for children and visitors to the Nature Center to climb, dig and explore. Designed and installed through partnerships with Park Staff, various Eagle Scouts and the Oregon Ridge Nature Center Council, this place provides lots of opportunity for unstructured free play where kids can dig in a sand pit, climb on uniquely carved logs, perform on a stage and even hide in a wigwam! The unique carvings throughout this play space combine art and nature in a way that will wow both children and adults. The play space is located adjacent to a picnic area so visitors can dine and play while visiting the park and nature center.
