Natural Children's Playground Concepts

If you've hiked mountain paths, caught frogs and crayfish in a stream, rolled down a grassy hill, planted seeds,
played in mud, or followed animal trails, then youve enjoyed natural play.

The intent of our designs is to reunite kids with nature and the concept of natural play. Playspaces are designed to allow and encourage unstructured free play. This type of play is spontaneous as kids use their imagination to invent games, explore and discover the world around them.


By maintaining natural grades, naturalizing large portions of the site, or introducing a wetland, kids once again have
play areas that stimulate and challenge them. Children can again enjoy long days of climbing trees and hills,
building forts, and manipulating natural materials into tools and toys. This type of play is vitally important for healthy physical and mental development.
