The picture of JennSwing®
The relation of our idea of the playground and " Bridge to Terabithia "
1) In "Bridge to Terabithia", there is a rope in which Jess and Leslie swing across to get to terabithia and in our playground, we have swings which is related to it. But this time, there must be someone to help the children go up the swing. The swing, with its partially-reclined, body-embracing design and easily adjustable 5 point safety harness, offers children a safe and comfortable fun ride. Heavy Duty and durable, JennSwing® is a thick-walled rotational-molded rigid plastic seat which will outlast other swing seats. It easily attaches with the S-hooks provided. Seat Width = 14" (36 cm), Seat Depth = 11" (28 cm), Seat Back Height = 24" (61 cm),
Seat to Footrest = 14" (36 cm).

E.g. a few pictures like the mermaids, underwater explorer, underwater animals or water fairies can be placed there, with a big whole on the character's face. So that the children can place their faces their and pose for a picture. It is to allow the children to have fun and pose a nice picture in a imaginary character 's shoes.
3)Terabithia is a place where Jess and Leslie play, have fun, let their imagination run wild, defeat their 'enemys' and relax, and our playground allows physically disabled children to have fun, play, let their imagination run wild, defeat their "enemys' and also relax. Like whenever a children can get up a ramp or go down the slide, they are overcoming their physical barriers(or defeating their "enemies"). Or the pictures of the sea creatures around the playground, it will let the childrens' imagination run well, by allowing them to think that they are the characters themselves.
