A natural play area, to open on the Washougal waterfront this summer, will include a Sasquatch sculpture, log benches and steppers, boulder edging and a boulder maze, engineered wood fiber on the ground and a metal slide that follows the slope of the hill. There will also be musical instruments -- three junior drums and a metallophone -- made of steel tubing. (Contributed rendering courtesy of ID Sculpture)

Local families can look forward to playing on natural elements on the Washougal waterfront this summer.

Recent bids for a natural play area on the waterfront are lower than they were in 2018, but they are still more than the budgeted amount for the project.
