It's a very pretty playground, one of the most photogenic we've ever seen. Check out the albums below or, if you've got photos of your own to share -- designing, building, or playing on this masterpiece, send them to wayneplayground [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks!

Wayne Playground Build
Playground Highlights


     A great mini-documentary about the playground, from Betsy Connor Bowen (editing), with Desmond Crosby (camera). More from Betsy's playground film stash:

  • Dismantling (*sniff*) the old playground
    Footage of the original playground being dismantled to make way for the masterpiece that would replace it.
  • Design Day
    Watch Wayne kids tell the architect what they want out of their new playground.
  • Ribbon Cutting
    Snip, snip, snip goes the ribbon. Scream, scream, scream go the kids.

     Below, check out this time-lapse video taken on the last day of the build, pulling the tarp off and putting the top on.

The Architects

  • Leathers Associates
    Information on the architects that designed the playground for us. Also, check out this video of a playground the firm built in India after the tsunami in 2004. Similar to Wayne's build, but with more elephants and fewer tractors.
