The vision of a working barn is brought to life through thoughtful reuse and imaginative details—wooden troughs repurposed as planters with hand-painted signage, an old silo transformed into the park’s welcoming sign, and the original hay ring reimagined as a feeding station for Bessy the Cow. These elements give the park its distinct character while sparking creative, imaginative play.
At the heart of the park, the custom-built barn structure features a hayloft accessible by ladder, a winding slide, and a fireman’s pole, offering multiple ways to explore and engage with this unique play area. Below, three barn stalls extend the experience with additional pretend-play opportunities, complete with custom metal animals. A tricycle pathway with miniature traffic signs, half-buried tractor tires reclaimed from the original farm, and custom-imprinted tractor tire marks in the concrete trail system further reinforce the agricultural theme—creating a cohesive and memorable park experience.
