The Tyrrell Park Nature Center will consist of AV components, touch, and play activities, as well as separate spaces to meet the need of various children’s age groups. The center consists of both an indoor space and an outdoor space. Both areas of the center will contain discovery and learning spaces.
The center will include touchpads, touch tables, video touch screens, projection, LED lighting for all exhibit areas, and an area for young children to play. Life-sized replica birds, frogs, and many inhabitants of the wetland will be stationed around the indoor space in a natural-looking brush and faux environment settings. The space will have plenty of electrical outlets as well as overhead power outlets. Kiosk stations will be used for older-aged children’s groups.
An additional outdoor commercial playground space, also covered and floored, themed to match the overall wetlands, and aimed at children under the age of 6 years old. It will contain a walk-over bridge crossing over the faux stone rubber riverbed.
