Behringer-Crawford Musum will give a community briefing of its latest project this Thursday at 1:00 p.m.
The museum will unveil the progress to date of NaturePlay, make a major announcement about funding and literally raise the roof on one of the playground’s key structures. There will be children on hand to “test drive” some of NaturePlay’s unique features, including kid-size pioneer cabins, a working flatboat, a zipline “History in Motion” swing and a giant, climbable trilobite.
NaturePlay@BCM is located behind Behringer-Crawford Museum in Devou Park. It’s a collaboration between BCM and the Devou Good Project, a Covington nonprofit whose mission is to help other nonprofits bring their ideas to fruition.It was designed by POD Design and being built by Triton Services, Inc. NaturePlay@BCM is a gated and completely inclusive area where kids can run free, dig in the dirt, get to know the natural world, and at the same time, be exposed to and gain an understanding of the region’s prehistory and pioneer settlements.
NaturePlay@BCM is slated to open to the public in June 2016. Visit www.natureplaybcm.org for more information.
