The most challenging aspects of the project ended up being the location of the school and design of custom commercial playgrounds. As these schools were located three hours outside of Phoenix in Winslow, AZ, in-person project coordination was limited and made the design and planning phases complex. Another challenge was working directly with our manufacturer and install team to make custom modifications to the play structures. We removed spinning and swinging elements which the school principal felt were unsafe and substituted other play components into the playground design.

Communication was key between the client and ourselves as we worked with our manufacturer, Superior Recreational Products, to make these custom modifications happen. The engineering team redesigned the playground layout to substitute out three active single wheel swings and a sonic spinner. These components were replaced with our Active Snake Walk and Five Step Lily Pad play equipment.
