SOMETHING MAGICAL IS HAPPENING HERE...

Something magical is happening in Redwood City.

Leveraging the innovative spirit of Silicon Valley combined with the welcoming-for-all culture in Redwood City, the Magical Bridge Playground will soon be open for uniquely addressing the needs of the entire community through play. With an underlying message of kindness, Magical Bridge Playground removes the barriers of today’s typical playgrounds and gives everyone a place to play together as never before.

MINDFUL DESIGN The Magical Bridge Playground is mindfully designed to deliver significant benefits to people of all ages and abilities, and at Red Morton Park, Magical Bridge will feature elements inspired by the area’s unique landscape and the values of the community. Special play and barrier-free areas will include:

Tot Zone

Spin Zone

Innovation Zone

Kindness Corner

Slide Mound

Swing & Sway Zone

Playhouse & Stage

Tree and Retreat Huts

Interactive Water Feature

ENTRY PLAZA

UNIQUE PLAY NEEDS Magical Bridge Playground addresses the unique play needs of the various ages and abilities which make up our community. While 20% of the nation’s individuals are living with a disability, only 10% of them use a mobility device.

That means that the other 90% are living with autism, sensory challenges, cognitive and developmental issues, and complications that arise from aging. Play is different for those with these challenges , and until now, the needs of this large subset of our community have not been considered.

The first of its kind in Redwood City, Magical Bridge considers everyone.

GRAND OPENING We hope that you will join us in the celebration of the opening of the Magical Bridge Playground this early spring (weather permitting), and you can follow construction updates and planned activities here: www.redwoodcity.org/magicalbridge

KINDNESS IS MAGICAL! Further, if you are interested in volunteering, becoming a “Kindness Ambassador”, and/or donating to future Magical Bridge activities, please visit the Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation website for more details here https://www.rwcpaf.org/

Age 7-13 with Junior Chef Stars

YOUTH & TEEN

THE SCIENCE OF COOKING (AM)

Great cooks seem to operate on intuition.

Watch one at work and you might think he or she must have a sixth sense that switches on in the kitchen. But great cooks aren’t psychic.

They simply understand the fundamental principles of cooking. This class brings you into the test kitchen with fun and unique experiments to show you the science at work.

The experiments demonstrate why adding fat to your eggs will make the perfect tender omelet, why grinding your own meat will make the ultimate burger, and why you should have patience before carving your roast. So sign up for this class and your Junior Chef is sure to not only be a food genius after, but know how to cook like a pro!

COOKING AND BAKING (PM)

Calling all beginning bakers, seasoned gourmets, and all around food lovers!

This session is the perfect mix of learning professional cooking and baking techniques. From pastries and cakes to gourmet meals, your junior chef will be able to put together a delicious four course meal for their friends and family!

Age 6-9 with Svetlana Tuchinsky, B.M., MA Education & 15+ yrs experience Learning to play the piano is FUN! We believe that piano lessons should be enjoyable and productive, not dull and isolated. By putting our students into small groups at the beginning levels, we give them a chance to share learning experience with others.

This creates a built-in support team of friends and stimulates children to practice. Students are grouped according to their age and ability. Activities include music-oriented games, EZ music theory, and ear-training. Classes are progressive. Each student has access to a piano or keyboard in class, however, a piano or keyboard is needed to practice at home. We hold a recital at the end of the session. Lab Fee: $25 payable to instructor at 1st class.

Winter & Spring 2020 Activity Guide

Age 4-12 with Woodside Vaulters www.woodsidevaulters.org Equestrian vaulting combines elements of gymnastics and dance performed to music on a moving horse. The horse moves in a circle on a longe line and is controlled by a longeur. Vaulters begin on stationary barrels and progress to performing on the horse at the walk and trot; experienced vaulters perform at the canter. The club emphasizes horsemanship, safety, team-building, communication skills, fitness, and relationship between vaulter and horse. Woodside Vaulters, founded in 1990, is one of the largest and most successful vaulting clubs in the United States. What to wear? You should wear the following to class: Ballet, water, tennis, vaulting shoes or other soft shoes, T-shirt with shorts, leggings, or sweat pants and bring layers if it’s cold outside (clothes should not be too loose). Long hair should be pulled away from the face with longer hair in a ponytail or bun.

Age 50+ with Dr. Patricia Moore, a semi-retired academic who has pursued three careers in the past ten years since leaving full time work and has many practical tips to share based on her own mistakes and successes.

"What are you going to do?" is the question faced by those who are near retirement.

BEGINNING & INTERMEDIATE DOG OBEDIENCE (DOGS 4 MONTHS +)

Family Members Age 11+ with Paige Tyson. Questions about class content? Call 209.532.6269 Beginning: Your dog is taught to sit, down, stay, come, heel and easy (walking nicely at the end of the leash without pulling).
