Spin, Sway & Swing
The Sway & Swing Zone contains popular play equipment for the children to practice swinging, rocking and swaying, all movement opportunities that promote physical activity while providing vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation. Swinging combines coordination, an elevated sensation and awareness of height with fun and speed. Repetition for children with sensory processing disorders, or autism can be stimulating and relaxing. The We-Saw and Oodle Swing provide opportunities for multiple participants to play together challenging their body awareness, balance and coordination.
The traditional swings are separated by age group, but include four belt seats, two bucket seats and two accessible high-back molded seats. Children of all abilities will find the back and forth horizontal movement soothing as they swing with their peers and reach for the sky! Resilient surfacing beneath the entire area will cushion any unexpected falls. Shade will allow everyone to play even on the hottest days!
The We-saw™ is a new take on the traditional seesaw. Its unique design and gentle rocking motion invites kids and families of all ages and abilities to participate in the fun. The We-saw is wheelchair accessible through transfer and provides opportunities for collaborative play and teamwork for up to 9 people.
