Here is a recent update on the progress of the Discovery Place for Kids in downtown Huntersville, North Carolina:
A local company hopes to build a tree house in the middle of downtown. Not some boards nailed to the truck of a tree, leading to more boards tacked together in the limbs above.
Huntersville-based Power Play Inc. is working on probably the nicest tree house in town, a three-story 
structure that will greet kids and their parents as they enter the brand-new Discovery Place Kids museum in a little more than a year.
That's just one of many local connections Discovery Place Kids Director Debbie Curry has established, she said this week.
On its Web site, Power Play Inc. describes itself as "the world's largest, fully integrated manufacturer of commercial playground equipment, floating dock systems and lifts for boats and personal water craft." They make the climb-slide-and-swing combinations that have sprung up at schools, parks and playgrounds everywhere.
Power Play Marketing Director Jim Swintek said the company is excited to get the chance to bid on the tree house for the Town Center development in the southwest corner of Gilead and Old Statesville roads. He didn't want to say any more about the project this week. Curry said the tree house will accommodate children from birth through second grade and their parents. It will also need to be accessible in parts to physically handicapped children.
