Gord Weeden Woodlot

Client: City of Markham
Location: Markham, Ontario
Completion Date: Fall 2018

Tucked along a path that winds through the Gordon Weeden woodlot, a friendly reptile greets walkers or cyclists who come to play.  Completely surrounded by mature trees, the chainsaw-carved oak snake is an unexpected play feature that delights children and adults.  Surrounded by play posts with log steppers children can attempt to move around the snake without touching it.  Of course, the snake is happy to have children play more intimately – they may climb, jump, sit, run or lie on it.
