One of the first steps when building a playground is to review and define your objectives. Is the goal to promote physical activity for students at a school? Enhance a neighborhood park to appeal to families and residents? Create a destination playground that brings people together?
If one of your main goals is to create a gathering place that gets people talking, brings them together and keeps them coming back you’ll want a playground that stands out. Something different than every other park out there. Something that honors your community or enhances nearby elements. Perhaps a theme playground is in order.Topics: Custom Capabilities, Theme Playgrounds, Miracle Recreation
Tavola, an award-winning community in New Caney, TX, sets itself apart with its beautiful wooded backdrop, greenbelt trails and plenty of amenities for the entire family.
May Recreation partnered with Friendswood Development and Kudela & Weinheimer (architect) to design/build their first playground back in 2014. We fell in love with the community, so we were thrilled when given the opportunity to partner with them once again to build a second, even larger one. This new playground is located near the new pool and rec center, and includes one of the latest and greatest pieces of playground equipment out there – Gravity Rail!
