"It's not every day you see a treehouse in a city park, but that's exactly what you'll find at Nay Aug Park in downtown Scranton, Pa. After Mayor Christopher Doherty read about Forever Young Treehouses, a nonprofit organization that builds accessible treehouses, he knew he had the perfect spot in Nay Aug Park.
That spot is 150 feet above a gorge that was not easily accessible to the general public, let alone anyone with limited mobility. According to Rob Farrell, who served as the project manager for what's now known as the David Wenzel Treehouse, the accessibility is central to the story of the treehouse, as not only does it provide a majestic view of a spot previously unseen by many, but it bridges the gap between all generations because the Forever Young Treehouses are built to be used by all, regardless of age or ability."

"A beloved attraction several stories above the ground no longer has a stable foundation. Scranton's $650,000 treehouse will be closed this summer.
Engineers are trying to figure out a way to make the treehouse at Nay Aug Park safe for visitors again".
