This colorful, fun new facility was designed by the award-winning playground architects of MIG in Berkeley, California. They created a beautiful space that specifically caters to children aged 6 to 12 and helps them strengthen their locomotor skills, improve their balance, create curiosity, and boost their confidence, and allows them to simply hang out with friends.
Certain pieces were created to encourage a sense of risk-taking, allowing the children to challenge themselves in a safe environment. The playground’s materials were sourced from all over the world to meet the highest international safety standards and at the request of the elementary school students, it boasts jungle elements in honor of their host country, Indonesia!
