The one-of-a-kind glow-in-the-dark playground Joya at Oran Good Park in Texas is now officially open. City officials at Farmers Branch, a town just 20 minutes outside Dallas, welcomed the public to the 18,000-square-foot park on Saturday, January 20.

Joya at Oran Good Park dubbed itself as the country’s first all-accessible, glow-in-the-dark playground, according to a release from the city. While open during the day, the park comes alive during the evening with its glowing elements. The playground features a 27-foot futuristic sphere where children can climb inside, a zip line, a spin zone, glow seating, swings, and an obstacle course - all lit with colorful LED lighting.

    Good point in this context (of Texas), moreover it’d be WAY more useful in places higher up latitude-wise. It gets dark REALLY early here in Northern Scotland, and stuff like this would be way more tangibly useful.

    Though also, being from Texas, I just want kids going outside there… at all.
