City and community leaders officially will open Discovery Playground, Auburn's innovative state-of-the-art barrier-free area, in a special ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday, part of the Parks, Arts & Recreation's annual KidsDay festivities at Les Gove Park, 1005 12th St. SE, Auburn, WA.  The 32,000-square-foot playground and sensory garden are the result of a large-scale $300,000 community fundraising effort.

The new area is one of the region's largest accessible playgrounds. A community design team of agency professionals, occupational therapy professionals and a youth representative helped create the playground with the physical, sensory and developmental abilities of all children in mind. The park broke ground for construction in April 2010.

The park features a set of Tuned Drums and the Outdoor Pegasus.

The instruments have been a real hit with the local area children. The musical instruments were easy to install and have been problem free for the maintenance crew. Provided by Jaff Hansen - Allplay Systems 3328 NW Fairway Heights Dr Bend, OR 97701 USA P. (425) 766.7822
