Extended Playpark. 10 Actions; original playpark, gymnast and pecking hens, roundabout, kite flyer, rotating plants, children fishing with a net, children playing in the sand, zip wire, fisherman catching a fish, and rowing boat with animated characters. Operated by a push button that starts the sequence. The water wheel sends an impulse to the sequencer that moves it on one step. Each step operates a different sequence of motors. (05/09/2019)
