The Rodeph Sholom School surely demonstrated its commitment to children by installing a fourth play space in its educational complex. A small, dark courtyard between the school and the sanctuary was turned into a densely packed play yard that could accommodate lots of kids doing a variety of fun activities.
They could crawl up a small climbing wall to get to one of many bridges that turned the space into a 3D play circuit. The entire structure stood on stilts over a bed of deep sand providing a variety of small spaces for imaginative sand play. Every nook and cranny of the oddly shaped site was used including a basketball court for tots and a play house area for building with large blocks.
The space is used all year round for school, day camp and child care during services.
