The interactive playscape sets the stage for discovery at all ages: in the wood log playscape and in-ground slide, hidden surprises and clues allow anyone at play to unlock a musical experience.<\/p>\n

A custom-designed network of sensors and symphony of programmed sounds allows children or families at play to create the music of hand bells, a sitar, a bass guitar, drums, an acoustic guitar, and a piano simply by playing on the playground.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud of the progress we\u2019re making at Walsh to build a community where families can truly live happier and healthier lives,\u201d said Tony Ruggeri, Co-CEO at Republic Property Group. \u201cOur focus on amenities such as the Makerspace and the Musical Playground is to create a unique lifestyle for every resident and give children opportunities to explore, discover, learn and develop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Childhood development experts including Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods<\/em>, applaud sensory play for its ability to facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play. The process of creating, investigation and exploration in sensory play help build nerve connections in the brain\u2019s pathways, which develops children\u2019s ability to complete more complex learning tasks.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren have such incredible imaginations and at Walsh, they are able to bring those ideas to life. To me, the musical playground is an example of that and I hope it encourages kids to realize all the amazing things they can create with a little help from technology, nature, and a big imagination,\u201d said Michael Voll, creator of Symfunee\u00a0(which powers the musical playground) and founder of Frog, our community\u2019s technology provider.<\/p>\n

Achieving a balance of exploration and play, in both the natural world and through modern technologies is a cornerstone of life at Walsh; so come explore, play and discover the music at Walsh.<\/p>\n
