SENSORY ZONE <br />Adjacent to the central play space on the edge of the redwood and oak tree groves sits a tactile sensory <br />sand play area featuring sand tables, chutes, and natural boulders. A boardwalk that travels through the <br />sand area takes users to the Star Sensory Playspace. The focal feature in this area is a planetarium -themed <br />dome climber that also serves as a gathering space and learning environment. Encircling the planetarium <br />are freestanding sensory features that make interesting sounds, images and patterns. A small group picnic <br />area and rocking benches beneath the redwood grove provide spaces for community and socialization. <br />To the north of the Star Sensory Playspace is the existing oak grove with proposed oak trees to replace <br />those deemed for removal in the arborist report. Beneath this canopy there are star-shaped quiet pods <br />with seating areas inside. These structures vary in size and are designed for children and/or caregivers <br />to sit inside for some separation from the playground. A sensory -rich tunnel connects this area to the <br />vestibular sensory zone which features a variety of spinners, bouncers and other moving equipment. <br />Adjacent to this zone is the rainbow road music area. The colorful rainbow surfacing is full of a variety of <br />different types of musical equipment such as chimes, drums, and xylophones. <br />Fig. # 15 Enlargement of Sensory Zone <br />MASTER PLAN 47 <br />
