Create the most popular destination in your community by incorporating nature into your playground. We can assist you in creating an exclusive NatureGrounds® play space.
We have partnered with the Natural Learning Initiative, a research and extension program of the College of Design at North Carolina State University, to develop a resource guide offering best practice principles for designing play environments that combine manufactured play equipment and the living landscape.
Research reveals a strong link between children's experiences of nature and their psychological well-being and overall development. It is critical to encourage outdoor play and find ways to reconnect children to nature.
Snug Play
Snug Play is a radical new approach to play spaces that is changing the way children play and develop. Snug Play systems consist of a family of large-scale, manipulative loose-play elements that children can use separately or together in endless configurations. Children can create a dynamic and exciting play space where they can actively have fun, explore and learn. Facilitators can use Snug Play as a creative learning resource to extend classroom learning. Requiring no installation, the Snug Play elements combine soft and rigid surfaces for a tactile play experience that is durable and weather-resistant.
