International Peace Garden Campus Upgrades
The International Peace Garden Campus Upgrade Project is a phased project that began with the Children’s Natural Play Park and renovation of the Cafe. Work on the Addition to the Conservatory still continues.
The Conservatory is home to the world’s largest indoor succulent collection. The goal of this portion of the project is to increase indoor space for display area, increase energy efficiency, and add attraction to the collection.
The Natural Play Park at the International Peace Garden (IPG) is organized into distinct animal habitat play zones connected by crushed stone pathways, woodchip pathways and footbridges. Included in the play zones are a Turtle zone, Wolf zone, and Eagle/Hawk zone. At the heart of the park lies a gathering circle which will seat up to 30 people in the inner circle and 80-90 in other surrounding spaces. Additional landscaping and plantings define the play zones and enhance them.
