NATURE’S PLAYGROUND AT GREENBURGH NATURE CENTER
The Greenburgh Town Board met with the Greenburgh Nature Center leadership today and discussed their master plan. Among exciting initiatives for the nature center (to be funded by private, not taxpayer dollars) is a Nature’s Playground. This will be a unique nature themed playground designed to engage children in outdoor exploration and discovery. The recreation area will serve children ages 2-12 and will provide a variety of play elements intended to mimic the natural environment. Possible elements include an artificial spider web to climb, a beaver dam to walk across, an eagle nest to sit in and a fossil dig area to explore. Kurt Hundgen (gnckhunden@aol.com) is the executive director for the nature center. His office is overseeing private fundraising efforts for this exciting initiative. If you would like to get involved please contact him.
Over the years I have advocated a playground at the Nature Center –that is geared to pre-school children. The two playgrounds (located at the schools) is not open to the public during school hours. A playground that also serves pre school children at the nature center will serve an important need for Edgemont residents (and for the rest of the town).
