About this project:

 

The Tulsa Educare MacArthur campus had seven existing playgrounds that were transformed into outdoor classrooms: four for the infant + toddler age group and three for Pre-K children.

The staff requested the following classroom priorities, which we were happy to meet: new climbing elements, water play, plenty of open space and shade, plus correcting some drainage issues.

We also added a new bike path playground with extra open space to a large area on the site that was previously neglected.
