The L.A.N.E is located at Arrowhead Ranch which is a working farm so please pay attention to the PRIVATE PROPERTY signs and keep an eye on your children at all times. There are also fun family friendly events at Arrowhead Ranch seasonally so keep an eye on the calendar!

The area is more of an outdoor classroom than what you would expect from a typical playground. The nature-based outdoor space is developed by research-based, field-tested design principles focusing on youth education and whole child development. This allows children to explore and develop a connection to the natural world through engaging in open-ended play!

The L.A.N.E. is open RAIN or SHINE - please dress accordingly.  If for any reason there is severe weather and the area is closed, we will put an announcement on our website.

This project was a collaborative effort with the Community Coalition of Stanwood-Camano and the Kindergarten Readiness workgroup.  The goal was to provide an outdoor space for the children of our community to explore their creativity and imagination while building foundational skills necessary for a strong start to their education journey. Research has shown a direct link between these outdoor exploration opportunities and the increased development of problem-solving skills, ingenuity, mental and physical well-being, and environmental stewardship.
