$13,684

Our Proudest Monkey Tree Fort Village built at Buck’s Run, Watoga State Park in West Virginia.
As you can see from the many entries here in our portfolio, Watoga State Park had contracted with Bears Natural Playgrounds to construct a series of playgrounds, providing a graceful cohesiveness to the playground equipment they have made available to visitors.
Largest of all the state parks in West Virginia, Watoga has over 10,000 acres of sprawling woodland filled with a multitude of recreational opportunities. Located just 14 miles south of Marlinton, the Park offers Beaver Creek Campground, Laurel Run, and the Riverside Campground, where these photos were taken.
Watoga also boasts an 11-acre lake, which was previously Lake Killibuck, used for paddle-boating, row-boating and trout, bass, bluegill or even catfishing.
Bears Playgrounds have found the perfect home in this park. Our whole log construction gives an organic, wholesome feeling that is striking in appearance, with bold, strong, built to last designs, beautifully stained rustic wood and hunter green accents. Bears Playgrounds are designed to compliment the natural setting of any environment.
And when it comes to natural weather resistance, our cedar is about the best you can do. Additionally, we have chosen to add additional protection by staining our playgrounds. The color is a beautiful, natural, semi-transparent, brown stain. It enhances the beauty of the wood and highlights the wood grain. The stain is water based and the brown pigment color helps protect against harmful UV rays in the sunniest of climates. The penetrating qualities of the stain also help to protect against snow and moisture.
