This beautiful beach community envisioned a beach themed playground that not only used colors that matched the surrounding natural elements but included shade to provide protection from the sun and its elements. Moonlight Beach, viewed by locals as a magical location situated right on the Pacific Ocean, was the selected site for a new playground. This playground seamlessly integrates fundamental principles of physical play – cardio, upper body, balance, climbing, energetic and continuous movement. Moonlight Beach received the Exceptional Design for Dynamic Play recognition due to the playful design that focuses on providing physical activity, creating learning activities and promoting energetic movement. Poured in place rubber surfacing provides ADA access to all play elements. A freestanding pirate-themed structure offers several ground level activities, and a spinning activity and swings provide fun for all ages. The Moonlight Beach playground has a beach-themed structure with a colorful, climbable GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) surfboard, challenging climbers, traverses, and slides. The Playground of Distinction program recognizes community playgrounds that provide physical activity, inspire imagination, encourage intergenerational play, and/or offer a variety of inclusive play events. This picturesque playground is designated as a Playground of Distinction by Playcraft Systems.
