Imagination Playground

Imagination Playground is a breakthrough play space concept, conceived and designed by architect David Rockwell and is the ONLY one located in San Diego County. With a focus on loose parts, Imagination Playground offers a changing array of elements that allows children to constantly reconfigure their environment and to design their own course of play. Giant foam blocks, mats, wagons, fabric and crates overflow with creative potential for children to play, dream, build and explore endless possibilities.

Rokenbok

Rokenbok construction lets children build their own ideas, and Rokenbok machines are so much fun because they work so well. The two together create endless, special playtimes for children and their parents. Each building set or remote control machine can be enjoyed alone, or they can be used as part of an ever-growing world with unlimited play and educational potential.

Keva Planks

Most of the things built with KEVA planks do not resemble "the real thing." Part of the fun, however, is capturing the essence of an object so it becomes obvious what it is. The child's imagination must fill in the gaps. As video games become more realistic and movies improve their special effects, these activities do not leave too much to a child's imagination. KEVA planks stimulate those innovative thoughts. Tall towers, small villages, fenced yards, roads are part of the child imagining and creating a new world. Imagination is a critical aspect of creative problem solving and abstract thinking. Help your children grow his imagination.
