Hillside Hamlet is packed with delightful Play Features and Bridges, Bridges, Bridges up in the trees. The Hexagon Tower has a Dutch door, shuttered windows and Rock Climbing all around. The Crow's Nest spouts a Flagpole with 3 flags. The Entrance Tower has a secret escape door on the left and a Super Slide off the back (hidden in this view). Shuttered windows, a curved-top door, and Turrets with Pyramid Facade Roofs complete the look of a tiny, medieval castle.

The Swings in the Sandbox Area of Hillside Hamlet are always popular, whether you're swinging, pushing, watching from above or resting at the base of the Super Slide. All areas of the Hillside Hamlet connect to each other and invite kids to explore these creative "loops" of play. There's a large escape door at the base of the Rectangular Tower. Just climb up the Super Slide a few feet, hop off and tackle the Rock Climbing Wall or Firepole of the Hexagon Tower.

Color Map #1 is the color palette chosen by the client as it matches the main house.

The Crow's Nest, the Rock Climbing Wall, the Firepole and the Wavy Super Slide are visible here and swarming with kids.

The Ship's Ladder on Hillside Hamlet leads from the Bridge-over-Swings to the the Sandbox Area below (which is also the base of the Super Slide). Side Railings at 2 levels make it the easy way up and down for all ages. Attaching the Bridge-over-Swings to a very large tree makes it a very sturdy swingset. Grinding all the redwood surfaces makes a smooth, satiny finish, which Barbara's custom Tung Oil Stains preserve and enhance. It's a pleasure to run your hand down the splinter-free railing or around the finials.

The Crow's Nest for Hillside Hamlet encircles a large tree: the perfect place to play Robin Hood, Tree Sprites or Pirates. The Crow's Nest connects via a Bridge to the back of the Hexagon Tower with its Rock Climbing Wall and Firepole. This view of Hillside Hamlet also shows the Bridge-over-Swings on the left leading from the Rectangular Tower to a Tree and Ship's Ladder to the lower level.
