The newly installed sandbox is ready for some kid action (well maybe adults as well) .  We constructed out of fence posts with a geo-liner under it and then added over a ton of construction sand.  Construction sand is great because it hold s a bit of moisture and as you can see from the picture about will maintain shapes that are made in it.  It is located in the back area of the Children's Discovery Garden next to the new Faerie Village.  Stop by and enjoy it!
