Created as a collaboration between artists and playground designers, Margate Park Playground is stunning. The park has a lakefront theme, brought to life by public art integrated into the design. A swarm of stainless-steel butterflies greets visitors at the entrance, while bee, dragonfly, and butterfly sculptures mounted on flexible poles sway and create moiré patterns with their shadows. A community-made mosaic depicting a fantastical aquatic scene adorns a bench that snakes its way around the playground, adding color and whimsy.
