It’s playground building season again and this time I’m down in Atlanta, GA working with the amazing Rukia Rogers to create a wild space for city kids at her soon-to-open childcare center, The Highlander School. We’ve got carpenters, concrete water feature-makers, tree specialists, children’s garden workers, and a load of volunteers all coming together to build this fun space.
I showed you the design before. It’s this one:
But now I thought it would be fun for you to see the build in action so I’m documenting the process on Instagram. You can follow along here.
(and if you’re near Atlanta, come check in person! Our volunteer build will be happening all day on saturday!!)
Wow, fantastic, I’m envious. How was this project funded and what did it cost?
Is there room for soccer and baseball, favorites among my preschoolers?

Thanks Ann! this is part of a new childcare center being built – funded privately as part of the startup costs, I suppose… not sure yet what the final costs will be. trying to do it on the cheap: mostly just dirt, rocks, logs, concrete. there’s plenty of room for lots of stuff. no wide open sports fields per say, but lots of loose parts and sand and water and logs and gardens and music sculpture and hills.
