Project Overview:
Set against the backdrop of a scenic and historic park, this playground renovation at Thompson Park brings vibrant, inclusive play to the heart of Watertown.
Designed for all ages and abilities, the space features innovative equipment from Landscape Structures, including the Oodle® Swing, Global Motion®, We-Saw™, and Double Bobble Rider—all encouraging social interaction, active play, and sensory engagement.
Engineered wood fiber was chosen as the safety surfacing, providing a natural aesthetic. With the park surrounded by trees and open space, this dynamic play environment invites families to stay, play, and connect.
