Music and creating music stimulates more parts of the brain than any other human function, promoting cognitive development and creativity. The brain processes music in a different area than speech and language. For those that have a difficulty communicating verbally, music provides a non-verbal means of expression and communication.
Let’s rock out together! Whether you’re drumming, pressing buttons on the Sensory Musical Play Panel, or simply enjoying melodies, there’s something for everyone.
Sensory Sandbox
Discover a world of sensory exploration and imaginative play. Designed for peoples sensory needs in mind, our sand box provides a safe and engaging space for people to explore and develop their senses.
Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD): Many children on the autism spectrum struggle with SPD, which can make it challenging for them to perceive or respond to sensory stimuli. This condition may cause children to react to their environment in unique and unexpected ways. Sensory sand play engages all major senses, providing a comfortable and stimulating environment for children with SPD. When a child places their hands into a sandbox, they enter a safe world of unrestricted imagination, allowing them to explore and experiment in a safe nurturing space. By adding toys, essential oils, water, or colorful objects, many senses are further engaged, promoting sensory development and exploration.
Let the sensory adventures begin!
SWINGING
Experience the joy and benefits of swinging at our playground! Swing along with us and discover the incredible sensory stimulation, relaxation, and social interaction that swinging provides. Swinging activates the fluids in the inner ear canal, promoting vestibular stimulation essential for maintaining posture and equilibrium. Swinging helps restore balance and coordination, soothes, relaxes, increases concentration which enhances focus to promote cognitive development. Swing into a world of fun and development on either a traditional belt swing, ADA accessible swing, toddler swing, or the Swing Along Seat which is a multigenerational face-to-face experience.
TRAMPOLINE
Jump into fun and fitness with our exciting trampoline feature! Whether you are a child, teen or adult, our wheelchair-friendly accessible trampoline ensures that everyone can experience the thrill of bouncing. As a guardian you can wheel the wheelchair onto the trampoline and control the bounce.
Jumping on a trampoline engages both sides of the brain and body, enhancing coordination, balance, and motor skills. Bouncing promotes muscle development and strengthens bones, improves cardiovascular health and blood flow. Trampolines experience heightened awareness of your body’s position in space and aerial maneuvers, promotes greater flexibility and agility.
The vestibular system is centered in the inner ear and it “talks” directly to the brain via a key nerve pathway. It controls the sense of movement and balance and plays a very important role in child development. The vestibular system influences nearly everything we do. It is the unifying system in our brain that modifies, and coordinates information received from the other senses. Bouncing on a trampoline stimulates nearly every sense, leading to an abundance of brain activity. This is the ultimate brain-boosting activity!!
Fun Fact: Did you know that a 10-minute trampoline workout is equivalent to a 30-minute jog, with less stress and impact on your bodies? Get fit while having fun!

Positioned in a sequence alongside other equipment like climbing cubes and balance beams, Unity Steppers encourage children to work together to navigate through challenges and obstacles. As they step from one platform to the next, children develop balance, motor skills, depth perception, and coordination.
Step onto our Balance Beam and embark on a journey of physical and mental development. It is not about walking from one end to the other; it’s about building core strength, refining balance, and honing coordination skills.
These multifunctional steppers and balance beam provide endless opportunities for creative play, whether crossing imaginary rivers or navigating treacherous hot lava pits.
