The City of Johnstown partnered with our team to design and install a modern, engaging playground at West Lake Park that would serve children of all ages. The goal was to create a dynamic play environment that encourages exploration, movement, and social interaction, while visually complementing the park’s natural surroundings.
Provide play opportunities for children ages 2–12
Encourage active and challenging play
Create a visually cohesive, modern playground design
Include equipment that promotes physical and developmental growth
The centerpiece of the playground is the FTX-GEN-512-0025 tower playground, a bold and colorful structure featuring shades of sky blue, butterscotch, orange, and gray. This eye-catching tower invites children to climb, slide, and imagine through a variety of curvy tube slides, climbers, and interactive activity panels. Designed for children ages 5–12, it offers endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.
Complementing the main tower is the PS5-72777 playground, which expands play opportunities for younger children while still appealing to older age groups. This inclusive approach ensures that siblings and friends of different ages can play together within the same connected environment.
To unify the two playgrounds, we integrated a series of freestanding components designed to encourage physical development and social interaction. These include a playground balance beam, a Rockface Climber with an overhead ladder, and stepping pods, all of which challenge children to improve balance, coordination, and upper body strength while navigating between the two main play areas.
3-Bay Arch Swing Frame with belt seats and two inclusive swing seats to accommodate a wider range of users.
Ascend Tower Net, a large rope climber that provides a challenging and adventurous climbing experience for older children.
Poured-in-place surfacing, which adds a polished, modern finish while ensuring accessibility and safety throughout the play space.
The completed playground at West Lake Park offers a diverse and visually striking play experience that encourages active, imaginative, and social play for all children ages 2–12. Through thoughtful design and a mix of interconnected equipment, this park has become a destination where families can come together to play, grow, and create lasting memories.
