Sea Otter is in full swing and there are a lot of brands in attendance. But it’s the brand that isn’t in attendance that’s generating the most buzz. After appearing on site and setting up their tent, Kona Bicycles then tore down that same tent before the show even started. By the time we rolled into the venue on Wednesday at the end of our ride with Otso Bicycles, the space for Kona’s tent was already vacant (circled above). Located at Maple Beach, the newly construction playground was designed using universal design principals and contains a ramped playground structure surrounded by a variety of other features designed for inclusivity, accessibility and fun. The playground has play features for kids ages 2-5 and 5-12.
