"Fort Fun" Playground

"Fort Fun" playground is a scaled version of the original fort which serves as the backdrop for a children's playground.  Modeled after the beautiful Leo-Cedarville playground, this area complements the new fort theme and is conveniently located adjacent to the Imagine MASTer Academy for area residents to enjoy.
