About the
PlayTrail
 |
Push open
the curvy ash wood gates and enter the PlayTrail, a nature
playground designed especially for young children.
Created in conjunction with the
Dale Waller Early Childhood in Nature
Program,* the PlayTrail also serves as a venue in which Boxerwood
staff and local preschool educators can offer guided experiences for
young children and their families that foster learning and discovery.
The PlayTrail winds through a wooded acre located near the parking lot
for the convenience of families with very young children. The
PlayTrail is a safe and rich environment for active, constructive and
imaginative play. This organic play space encompasses natural
features of the tract along with whimsical enhancements.
Become a "PlayTrail
Blazer!"
*The mission of the Dale Waller Early Childhood in Nature
Program is to ensure that young children in our community regularly have
the opportunity to experience the joy and wonder of being in nature, and to
reap the benefits of outdoor play. |

The PlayTrail opened Mothers' Day, 2007:
Garden Steward Karen Bailey and volunteer Ann Waller cut the vine on
Boxerwood’s new Preschool PlayTrail and officially launched the Dale
Waller Early Childhood in Nature Program. The opening ceremony included
the naming of Dale’s Creek, dedicated to Dale Waller, the grandmother
and educator in whose honor Ross and Ann Waller have established
Boxerwood’s early childhood initiative.
