ARK
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Fun and memorable. Easy to understand.
Something kids would be excited to see, with an
element that was interactive. These were goals I
had for my proposed park identity piece at
Champions Park.
I decided to go big—and use the whole budget on
one memorable, interactive element that creates a
unique identity for Champions Park. I'm proposing
a FOOTBALL ROCKET PLAYFORT.
This structure would invite interactive play for
Champions Park and give the park a distinctive,
true sense of place.

Football Rocket Playfort
The streets around Champions Park were named with football
coaches in mind, and this football theme was expanded into this
large-scale "football rocket playfort" that can truly engage the
imagination. Kids and adults can climb in and communicate with other
friends at the other end of the playground with a "talk tube"from
Landscape Structures. Perhaps there will be play calls? Rocket launch
countdowns? This structure would invite fun, interactive play for
Champions Park.
ROCKET WINDOW ELEVATION

MAINTENANCE:
All materials used are considered to be low -maintenance, suitable for our climate, and
easy to clean with a damp cloth. Bolts and other connectors will be tamper-resistant
and hidden whenever possible. Note: It should be easy to mow the grass around the
concrete pad of this installation.
