Architectures are the art of expressing human ingenuity through space. Taking Wetland Seasons Park as an example, its entire architectural design is characterized by Black-faced Spoonbill and Wetland, representing its core idea of harmony between people and nature. Perched at the center of this nature-themed playground is a superlative craftsmanship Black-faced Spoonbill-themed play tower. The grasses and trees, bricks and stones, children are no strangers to these familiar scenes and simulate playing in the playground. Within the structure itself, the little rods allow children to lounge and spin. There is also a tube slide and climbing ridges that provide a variety of play options. The unique attraction of this playground is the connecting tunnel between the two Black-faced Spoonbill towers. Its peculiar shape requires children to navigate strategically and bravely, hence developing both their physical and cognitive strengths. Nearby there is a swing for those who truly want to soar higher. The wavy contours and blue color mat of this playground also enable it to blend in beautifully with its surroundings, merging both the residential blocks and the nature nearby.
