ATL Playground

Landscape Structures unveiled an innovative playable piece of art on Nov. 1. The playground was designed to be a central part of the recently rejuvenated Woodruff Park area in Atlanta, Ga. This playground was revealed during the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Congress and Exposition, which was held Oct. 30 - Nov. 3, at Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center.

The original design was conceived by Jeff Santos of Coquitlam, British Columbia. Santos was the winner of the Playable 10 Contest, held in partnership by Landscape Structures, Georgia Institute of Technology, Central Atlanta Progress (CAP), Atlanta's Taskforce on Play (ATOP) and Bank of America. The playground's design pays tribute to Atlanta with a shape that mimics the letters "ATL." Built into the piece are various playable elements, including climbing walls, monkey bars and two different sizes of slides.

The playground is slated to be installed in Woodruff Park in spring 2012. The structure is designed in the spirit of Landscape Structures that an inclusive playground is an important part of a healthy, thriving community.
