Today's "Fermilab Today" email newsletter featured an article on it's new playground.  Here is an excerpt:

It's one thing for kids to try to envision particles zipping around underground when learning about the science at Fermilab. It's another thing entirely for them to pretend to be particles charging along an accelerator path, revealing new physics as they fly by.

This week the Fermilab Education Office celebrated the completion of its new Run Like A Proton accelerator path for middle- and high-school-age visitors to the laboratory.

Located at the Lederman Science Center, the path is an aboveground, scaled-down version of the routes a particle can take through Fermilab's accelerator complex. While running along the path, kids can act like they are the particles of the lab's physics program zipping through underground tunnels.

"Kids have different modes of learning," said Spencer Pasero of Fermilab's Education Office. "They can learn about the work of the lab with our indoor exhibits, but now they can also learn about it through our new outdoor playground."
