About Topographic Play
  • Hill play provides children the opportunity to move their bodies in different planes and against gravity, promoting vestibular and proprioceptive feedback to help overall orientation and position in space.
  • Ascending the hill requires increased core strength, motor planning, and balance.
  • Hillside play is also great for children with weaker muscle tone or children exiting mobility devices to explore crawling up and down the hill.
  • Once the top of the hill has been reached, children are greeted with a slide that allows them to soar back down to ground level.
What's featured at the Nature Play (see page 3 by clicking the ">" arrow at the top of the page):
  1. River source boulder​​​​​​
