-How can we bring back insects and pollinators to the park?

-Can we participate in the manual labor of building our contribution to the natural play area? 

· What materials can we use? Natural materials, reused materials from the environment are preferred, the goal is for the play structures to blend into the natural landscape

·Where is the exact area/location?

-p. 257, 258, 196 in design plans show layout for the nature play area

·What obstacles would people like? survey

·What are the safety precautions?
- experience, research (signs other parks) 

·What equipment can be safe and fun re: lawsuits?

-The design process and the design team determines safety protocol

·What can we do to help build?

·How do we design it? What program or method? Tinkercad?

·Where is the line between safety and fun?

·Will everything have to be “natural?”

·What are the limitations for equipment design?

-Visibility, distance, proximity to parents very important, use of natural materials, up-cycled materials 

·How would the environment affect the placement of each obstacle?

·What’s our budget?

·How much time do we have to plan out our design before we build?

·How big is the space that we are working with?
-Dimensions 100 by 100 feet area

 

EDUCATION

o   How much money can we spend?

·      What are the available ways to provide education? 

o   Website signs 

o   What materials can we use?
-tell the story of this play area especially that materials were up-cycled and re-used (possibly website with QR code)

 

GARDEN 

How can we bring back insects and pollinators to the park? 

·      How much space

·      How much light?

·      How much space does each plant take?

·      How long will the plants keep their flowers? 

·      Which plants will bring back the pollinators?

·      Which pollinators would people want? 

·       

·    

 

 

-Design on 3D modeling site options and ask people what they would rather have. 

-Observations and notes

-Data on organisms, life forms.

-Education – scavenger hunt

-“fun factor”, level of engagement, if it’s appealing, is it an activity you'd actually do

2. Write a proposal to Ms. Jolly for any ideas that we have for the nature play area (make sure we consider distance, visibility, safety, proximity so that parents can see children playing)

3. Might be possible (this time next year) to visit the site as it nears the end of construction
