Parks Providers
Public recreation providers are often looking for a new way to attract their user base through play, nature connection, and hands-on engagement. Some communities are asking for nature play and providers are left to figure out the details. We help providers find success through knowledgeable design as well as detailed discussions about materials choices and maintaining a safe play environment.
Early Childhood
Allowing young children to explore, discover, and learn through outdoor play is fundamental for early childhood development. Providers work hard to meet children’s needs, to carry out their mission, and to create a community atmosphere. Learning Landscapes Design can help you translate these efforts into your outdoor areas.
Schools
Many schools are facing issues of outdated equipment, low students-to-aid ratios on the playground, and social and behavioral issues. Natural playscapes can reduce competition and increase play value, as well as deeply engage students in creative and developmentally appropriate play. Well-designed outdoor spaces become another place for hands-on STEM learning.
Camps and Retreat Centers
There is a dynamic energy at camp and that’s the fun of it, but it can also be the very reason that long-term planning gets put to the side. We specialize in helping camps develop and realize a master plan vision that fully supports their mission and provides a build-out of projects that focus on inclusion and nature connection.
Family Destinations
Museums, zoos, and nature centers provide opportunities for education, recreation, and community building within their focused topic. Many providers are looking for a more hands-on way to engage visitors past the typical interpretive sign. Carefully designed outdoor spaces create whole-body experiences; kids can play like an otter, follow the path of a drop of water through a watershed, or play inside a cell! Nature playground design must consider client messaging, educational programs, and safety.
Developers
Nature exploration is a great way to set your development apart while providing real value for your clients. The materials and layout of natural play areas meet a modern, natural aesthetic that many new developments are striving to meet. These hands-on engaging spaces will keep people coming back for play and community development all thanks to a natural playground design.
