19 <br />Play Node <br />The concept of a play node evolved from the discussion around focused improvements to enhance the <br />playground at Pioneer Park and the desire to add an interactive water feature as a new element. Incorporating <br />both features into a cohesive node provides opportunity to create a unique community-scaled destination for <br />diverse play experiences serving a wide range of ages, abilities, and interests. <br />A play node expands the notion of play to encompass features that would be considered ‘outside’ the <br />boundaries of a traditional playground. For Pioneer Park this concept provides opportunities to integrate <br />features for multiple activities, observation, and gathering in one area. The node will be designed to <br />encourage users to flow between different zones - incorporating distinct paving, enhanced planting, and other <br />amenities to invite park users to explore the entirety of the node. Areas will be created to provide both active <br />and passive play, seating, shade, observation, exploration, reflection, programming, and flexible-use space. <br />Figure 6: The proposed play node at Pioneer Park will provide a unique experience for park visitor of all ages and abilities. Creating a <br />cohesive node, grouping similar activity types, will allow users to flow between areas exploring and discovering new experiences. <br />Attachment 1 (page 1/2)Pioneer Park Phase 1 Master Plan <br />September 2021
