Playground logs repurposed at Hutton school
Left Hand Pitch recounts chunks of cottonwood trees moved from Santa Fe Park to be used as a colorful playground feature at Hutton school north east of the building. Poles and logs form a 20 foot square area with upright and horizontal elements for climbing and imaginative play. The project, led by art director Robert Blunk Jr. and the art and maintenance departments, stems from a high school study on playground equipment.
