HOLTON, Kan. (WIBW) -- Wednesday was "Design Day" in Holton, Kan., as they planned for a new playground to be built in Linscott Park next spring.

But this playground will partly be designed by the minds' and imaginations' of the kids who'll be sliding, swinging and running in the park.

Playground designer Dennis Wille, of Leathers and Associates architectural firm based out of Ithaca, New York met with first through fifth graders at Central and Colorado Elementary schools.

Wille has helped design playgrounds for a handful of other towns in Kansas, across the United States, and even in a project in India.

He said he feeds off of the energy, adrenaline and creativity the kids bring, when designing the play spaces.

"We ask them what their dreams are basically, and they offer all kinds of ideas, which ranges from bungy jumping, hot tubs, to a lot of the more normal things you would see on a playground."

Some of the other ideas the kids threw at him Wednesday included monkey bars made of real monkeys and a climbing wall with a twist.

Wille said one of the drawings he saw had a climbing wall with grips that looked like popcorn, an idea he admits he never would've thought of.

Wednesday night Wille unveiled his design that he put together and sketched during the day to the community at Holton High School.

The playground is scheduled to be built and ready for action next spring.
