Bayside, DE, Opens One-of-a-Kind Playground with Help of Local Artists

Bayside, DE: Award-winning golf & now a new playground.

Bayside, the Delaware resort golf community being
developed by Carl M. Freeman Companies, is a place
especially for families and now it is is home to a
newly installed coastal-themed playground thanks in
part to the efforts of local artists, Bayside homeowners,
and Freeman employees.

The 6,500-square-foot facility, which is part of Bayside’s
Carousel Park, shines with bright colors and whimsical art
providing the backdrop for such features as a rock
climbing wall, an osprey tower, a lighthouse, a maze, and
a puppet theater.

Local artists Aubre Duncan, John Donato, and Laura
Hickman donated their time and talents to creating the
original artwork throughout the playground while Bayside
homeowners and Freeman employees helped with the
painting and some of the construction.

The design of Bayside’s playground is the work of Leathers
& Associates, a leader in the field of community-built
playgrounds. The Ithaca, New York-based company designs
one-of-a-kind playgrounds that are built on site, usually
within 5 days, using volunteer labor.

Its playgrounds are built with environmentally friendly
materials and are known for their safety features as well
as for providing opportunities to children of all abilities
to play.
