This unique playground, which was designed by students in the Rural Studio program of Auburn University's School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture, was built using 3,000 donated 55-gallon galvanized barrels that were originally used to transport mint oil. There's no other playground quite like it in the world.
