Play for All Treehouse

Play for All Treehouse

Building on the momentum from the first phase, the Play for All Foundation and the Wheaton Park District engaged Hitchcock Design Group to help them envision a one-of-a-kind treehouse play environment destination. Children, families, and caregivers of all ages and abilities will enjoy this unique elevated experience with a special focus on inclusive play, barrier free play, and providing opportunities for those with sensory-related disabilities.

Woven into an existing woodland setting, families will have opportunities to learn about the flora and fauna of the area through interactive layering, exhibits, signs, and activities that accompany the climb to the eleven-foot-high naturalized treehouse family room, kitchen, and kids room complete with slides, nets, tunnels, telescopes, hammocks, furniture, and natural manipulative play elements. These events will be wrapped into a robust garden setting, offering a diverse collection of activities from quiet and reflective to social and cooperative. The first phase will bring families of all ages and abilities into the trees.
