Harper’s Playground is driven by the vision of a world in which everyone is included. We create playgrounds where people of all abilities connect through play and thrive.
Our one-of-a-kind Design Workshop is a hands-on experience that teaches you how to create your own radically inclusive, inviting and natural playground.
Our innovative play areas transform communities by combining personal connections and unstructured outdoor nature-play for people of all abilities for a unique playground experience. Our design standards are radically inclusive—a perfect blend of universal accessibility and nature—and inspire community benefit through community involvement.
You’ll gain valuable insights from our years of experience being involved with over 20 playground projects to date. You will be provided with sample construction drawings, schedules, and budgets for reference. Additionally, we’ll cover a brief history of playground design, essential play theories, and the tenets of our unique model so that you have the foundational knowledge and language to become a project champion and inclusive play advocate within your community.
You’ll go home with the confidence, tools and background needed to lead the design of your own inclusive playground. Following the workshop, we can partner with you directly—either on playground design, or through various consulting services including site assessment and selection, inclusion and accessibility review and more.
