Limited Capacity seats available
Traditional playground equipment can be found in diverse settings, sometimes surrounded by natural elements and other times placed in cement blocks. All offer opportunities for children to connect to nature. Visit two urban playgrounds in Vancouver and join the conversation on the that role playground designers, parents, educators and park planners can play in creating links to the natural world through play. Parks feature play equipment built by Landscape Structures and Habitat Systems.
