Giant Acorn 

Highland, Illinois

Park District Adds Whimsical Additions to a Nature Theme Park

• Sculpted a custom, oversized themed element
• Crafted the pieces using realistic details that stimulate the imagination
• Built with weather-resistant, kid-tough material

Challenge

An esteemed design group from Illinois reached out to us, sparking excitement for something new at Sunset Woods Park in Highland Park, IL. They were looking to add something large and whimsical to their nature inspired park. With a new request for a whimsical addition to this nature-inspired park, and a deadline in mind, we knew we had to get to work.

Solution

Our skillful artisans crafted this unique piece using GFRC, an architectural material known for its durability. Engineered to withstand the energetic play of little ones, this acorn structure invites children to immerse themselves in nature. Whether crawling through its inviting space or taking a seat inside for shade, kids can enjoy various way to interact while playing with friends. The wide opening of the acorn ensures parents have a clear visual, allowing them to easily keep an eye on their children while they’re at play.

Result

Oversized with plenty of seating, this larger-than-life Acorn is truly a sight to behold. Its generous proportions offer a whimsical and entertaining visual, creating a delightful space for parents to watch their children play.

Discovering possibilities, having fun experiences, and learning are what we love helping to create.
