Colts Canal Playspace
Accessible and engaging to all age groups and backgrounds, the Playspace focuses on interactivity and engagement for young children and families.

The urban playspace features a play structure that blurs the lines between a traditional playground and public art, including a vertical climbing tower and ladder, a spinner bowl, twister nets, stepping stones, water fountains, and more.
