A master-planned community in Houston is now home to a unique play structure designed for children of all ages and abilities. Located in South Montgomery County, the Woodforest development is the first in the U.S. to incorporate a Sona. Wallaroo Park, which started construction in January 2018, features a dynamic structure that uses smart camera technology to measure the movement of those playing games using sound and movement. The facility merges interactive technology and outdoor play in a fully-accessible park space.

The colorful 12.5-foot-tall and 16.4-foot-wide arch is anchored by a play floor that features colors and numbers used in its interactive technology, all of which have increasingly difficult levels of play. Due to its size, the Sona can also accommodate children in wheelchairs and is developed to be accessible for children with mental and physical disabilities. Developed by Lappset Interactive, the Sona has been installed worldwide, including public park spaces, shopping malls, and health centers.
