New Skypark Tot Lot is a Lot of Fun

On St. Patrick’s Day, kids got to enjoy the long-awaited new tot lot at Skypark.

The project, shepherded by the city of Scotts Valley with support from the nonprofit Community Advocates, provides inclusivity and accessibility, thanks to a rubber surface replacing sand, a yellow glider that accommodates wheelchairs and a tuneful and easy-to-reach marimba.

Funding for the inclusive playground equipment came from Prop. 68.

The project has been on the drawing board since 2021.

With the sun shining on March 21, moms and kids were out in force to experience the new playground equipment, the slides, the climbers, the swings, the gears and the glider.
