After the Metz Playscape Replacement Project began, students at Mendez Recreation Center were inspired to create their own two-question survey focused on play amenities and theme ideas. As primary users of the playscape, they received enthusiastic support from PARD staff. The student survey gathered over 70 responses, which were combined with 31 responses from an online survey (Survey #1). The questions for Metz Playscape Replacement Survey #2 are based on the results of both the student-led and online surveys. We are proud of the students' efforts and grateful for the community's civic participation.

Nature play areas are designed to connect children with the natural environment through play. These spaces often incorporate natural elements to encourage physical activity, creativity, and environmental stewardship. By incorporating nature play, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the environment and create meaningful, enjoyable play experiences for children of all ages. Below are some examples of nature play elements. Please rank your choices from favorite to least favorite.

Three examples of nature play are shown: logs for seating a play hill made from wooden logs and stumps for jumping.
