UD Lab School Playground

About this project:

The new water and sand playscape design is a vital component of the UD Lab School playground renovation. This project honors Dr. Cynthia Paris' legacy by bringing her passion for early childhood education to life through the creation of an enriching, nature-based playscape. Water play and loose-parts like sand, pebbles, sticks and plants offer opportunities for discovery, agency and endless imaginative play. Water is a great way to activate play spaces, as children are almost two times more active in water play, from sprays, to pumps, to rain gardens.
