Natural Playgound Planning and Design

Create an Outdoor Learning Environment

Earthartist provides creative, natural playgrounds and outdoor classrooms for K-12 schools, communities, and childcare centres.

Our natural playgrounds establish an inspiring setting for young children to explore, create, and learn; where children of different abilities can invent and direct the focus of their own play through open-ended activities and learn together in age appropriate play.

With a thorough understanding of the latest trends and advances in playground design we work closely with parent, teachers, administrators, as well as the children themselves in a collaborative approach that gives all stakeholders a chance to participate in the design process.

As 'outdoor learning environments' the playground can be incorporated into all areas of the curriculum teaching them about science, math, biology, geology, and the wonders and intricacies of the natural world while they play within it !

Typically, natural play environments may include earth shapes (sculptures), environmental art, indigenous vegetation (trees, shrubs, grasses, flowers…) boulders or other rock structures, dirt and sand, natural fences (stone, willow, wood…), textured pathways, and natural water features.

A natural playground is often  less costly, safer, and has a higher play value than manufactured playgrounds.
