The Denver Housing Authority wanted to make a comfortable and inviting place for children to play. Parks & Gardens visited the site and found a weedy lot where water-saving measures had resulted in dead grass and trees. Rather than replacing the grass, Parks & Gardens developed a court paved with a firm yet playable surface. This removed half an acre from irrigation, leaving water resources to support more precious trees surrounding the court, while also reducing maintenance requirements.

The play court surrounded by trees provides a space for year-round play as well as spectators.
