Sensory Play at Wheaton Community Library and Recreation Center

This park is a joint project between Montgomery County Recreation, Libraries, and Parks. The playground connects the library and the community recreation center. It is richly designed to incorporate library and music theming as well as active play and sensory play. The entrance is a reading circle with the walls formed to resemble a bookshelf. The copings for the wall integrate quotes, and the wall ends integrate children’s book titles. Music is represented in the ground plane as a bass clef, a treble clef, and multiple musical instruments. Traditional and sensory play components make up the active play area.
