Music & Sensory Zone
As you leave the Entry Circle, children will be transported to a magical sensory garden. This area is primarily for 2-5 year olds, but can be enjoyed by all. The indigenous Texas tortoise, sensory Cozy Dome, DigiRiders, and multiple musical instruments are all playable at ground level allowing access for all.
Buddy Bench.
The rainbow “Buddy Bench”, also called the Friendship Bench, is a simple idea centered around eliminating loneliness and fostering friendship on the playground. The Buddy Bench promotes better mental and social health for our children. Signage and education at the monthly “My Play Club” will ensure every child will have the opportunity to play with others!
Cozy Dome.
The Cozy Dome offers kids a place to escape the hustle and bustle of a busy playground, take time by themselves or socialize together. It provides a quiet space for over-stimulated kids. Peek holes let kids and supervisors keep an eye on the action and the outer surface texture creates a challenging climbing experience. The Cozy Dome is a wonderful opportunity for cooperative play or for children with autism or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who may need a quiet space.
Musical Components.
Musical components offer an additional sensory element of play...the opportunity to observe on their own while building auditory skills. Music is especially beneficial for the visually impaired. It is a wonderful opportunity for cooperative play, or individual pieces can simply serve as an independent focused activity for children with autism or cognitive disabilities

Music gives a soul to the universe,
wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination,
and life to everything.
