The outdoor, fenced Green Play Area is designed for young children, complete with a mud kitchen, water wall, and more. The area allows for the unstructured outdoor play that is beneficial to a child’s physical and mental development and to their understanding and appreciation of the natural world. On Mondays through Aug. 12, 2-6-year-olds and their favorite adult(s) can drop in for Green Play Days any time 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. An educator or volunteer is available throughout the day to assist. Adults must stay with their children and may want to bring a chair, snacks, and water or a drink.
