Parents can watch their children play by sitting on strategically placed benches and tables and chairs, complete with shade umbrellas to provide relief during the summer. Younger kids, ages 2-5, can enjoy the some of the smaller play equipment. There are also interactive water fountain of “jumping jets” near the concessions building to give kids a fun way to cool off. Kids can race against a clock through ninja-inspired obstacles to try to beat their friends’ times or set their own personal best. The park includes a feature that is particularly unique – a timed challenge course designed for kids 13 and older. The rubber surface also makes the park universally accessible for all visitors, meeting the standards of the ADA. To ensure safety, the entire park incorporates colorful poured-in-place rubber surface that provides cushioning and consistent fall protection throughout. Additional climbing nets and boulders are also found throughout the park along with swings and spinners. Kids can enter the sky walk from climbing nets below each of the sky cabins and get back down using the 10-foot-tall tube slide. A sky walk with three sky cabins takes center stage giving kids a birds-eye view of the park and the riverfront. The children’s playground section includes several modern, fun takes on playground classics. Less than five other playgrounds like this exist in the US. Riverlife Park was part of the final phase of the development project, which includes the state-of-the-art playground equipment, a concessions building, and related site work.

The first phase of the project included an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) publicly accessible pedestrian bridge, boat docks, kayak launches, a wharf, multi-use trail system, landscaping amenities, and riverbank restoration. The riverfront development is the culmination of more than 30 years of dedication to land assembly and funding from the Wausau Mayors and Council, supported by their Steering Committee and many generous donors. Stantec’s team of urban planners, landscape architects, engineers, and scientists worked with the City of Wausau to transform a nearly half-mile brownfield redevelopment along the Wisconsin River shoreline into a regional recreation and entertainment waterfront destination. The playground was designed as part of the Wausau Riverfront Development. Along the Wisconsin River, next to the Bridge Street bridge in Wausau, Wisconsin, lies Riverlife Park-a destination park and playground that includes a play structure that is one of the largest in the US.
