The Nucleus® Evolution® play system at Portsmouth City Park really captures the imagination of kids because it invites them to go higher in a completely supported and visible way. From surface to roof line it is an engaging visual experience as well. Within the structure are new climbing, crawling, and sliding experiences – including the Evolution Arch Climber, the Rope Tunnel, and the Cobra Slides® to name a few. If your family has spent time at the new playground at Portsmouth City Park, we would love to hear about your experience. We hope you are having as much fun moving and playing as we had bringing it to you! #weALLneedplay #playmoves

The new playground at Portsmouth City Park seamlessly integrates a variety of activities for ALL abilities throughout the playground. Traditional swings sit next to the Freedom Inclusive Swing Seat and nearby Brava™ Universal Swing. Ramps and unitary surfacing give accessibility to equipment and structures for all levels of mobility. Musical instruments and panels provide playful, ground-level activities. Several Serenity™ Spot(s) provide a calm place for anyone with sensorial needs. The Orb™ Rocker allows for ease of access to the middle of the platform for any user to ride along. The tables include space for wheelchairs. It was a privilege to collaborate with Portsmouth Parks and Recreation on this amazing playground design that will benefit the entire community now and for years to come. #weALLneedplay #playmoves
