The Orchard Updates

Progress is being made on The Orchard, an outdoor green space nearly the size of two football fields. We’ve started construction on an amphitheater where parents can sit and watch their kids scramble up the rock climbing wall, and the foundation has been laid for the choreographed water fountain that will shoot water and light up to some of your favorite songs.

This will be a place where you can relax by the water fountain, have a picnic lunch on the lawn, or watch the kids run around and play chase.  The Orchard will be completed by the end of the summer.

Indoor Children’s Play Area

Work has begun on the indoors children’s play area. Skylights will provide plenty of sunshine to the play area, which will include two tree houses, climbing logs, animal sculptures and more. When the weather is warm, two large garage doors will open up to connect the indoor play area with the outdoor, fenced play area.
