(Madison, WI): The new natural playground at CamRock County Park is now complete! A paved surface path will be added in the next month to connect the current path to the playground. This is the first natural playground in the Dane County Park System.
Natural Playground
A natural playground is a play environment that consists of elements and textures from the earth such as tree logs, tree stumps, boulders, plants, drainage paths, among others instead of a traditional steel playground structure that includes slides and climbers.
