Hollister Elementary Leadership Academy added trees around the outdoor space, offering a more naturalized and shaded environment. A raised garden bed was installed for children to explore and garden in. A nearby grassy mound for active play was added for children to roll, slide, and run down. The newly added earth play activity tables, sand play with benches, a teepee, balance beam, a multipurpose deck, and a primary pathway with an arbor will give children a multitude of choices to connect with the natural outside environment.
