Often art installations are surrounded by protective screens, barriers, and signs commanding "Do not touch!"...but that's the furthest thing from the case in this MONSTRUM art installation. The Snake serves the dual purpose of being a sculpture to be observed and enjoyed, while simultaneously inviting kids (of all ages) to climb on it and inside it and explore it in any way their imagination allows.

The fact that the playground structure is so simple and doesn't embody any traditional play features such as a slide or swing opens a world of opportunity! At first glance, a 5-year-old visitor recently assessed that this playground was boring! Five minutes of "boredom" later and he had found fun, new ways to climb the snake and small challenges and games within and on top of the snake emerged. The simplicity of the structure was exactly the catalyst needed to spark the imagination and provoke endless possibilities for play!

Here, as is the case at all MONSTRUM playgrounds, there is no one correct way to play - play takes shape and new adventures are written each time a new child lets their imagination run wild at one of our play sculptures.
