We want to thank everyone who participated in the Playground Naming Contest. Benjamin's entry was selected from nearly 200 proposed names.

The Paradise Peninsula Playscape, opening this summer at Waterford Oaks County Park, is designed to showcase the beauty of Michigan’s unique, natural landscape. This playscape is comprised of natural and simulated rock features, simulated waterways, creative and interactive landscaping, sand and “fossil” features instead of standard stock playground equipment such as swings and monkey bars.
