The Dunham School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana looks beyond academics to help children in their community grow! Elementary school students are encouraged to develop their physical, sensory, and social skills through their daring new playground, Tiger Town.
Designed by Pelican Playgrounds, Tiger Town is full of opportunities for students to come together, whether it’s through the main play structure with its challenging climbs and adventurous slides, or through nearby freestanding equipment such as Quatro Seesaw, a PlayCubes® climber, a spinning rope climber, or a custom tiger climber.
The playground also features Quito—a 15.54’ freestanding net climber named for Ecuador’s capital, the closest capital city to the equator and the second highest in the world. Here, kids can traverse through 3-levels of climbing ropes, strengthen their bonds with one another by hanging out in multiple cozy spaces, or experience an adrenaline rush as they slide down the attached Mighty Descent.
In addition to helping kids burn energy and develop their physical skills, play provides benefits in the classroom by improving focus, inspiring creativity, and increasing lesson retention. As generations of students gather to explore this innovative play space, they’ll be better prepared and empowered to unite as a community in the future.

Created by Playground Specialists, Piney Orchard Playground provides a distinct play experience for residents of all ages in Odenton, Maryland!
From the red top of SkyTowers® to the blue and purple Climbing Squares, the main structure of this playground creates an eye-catching rainbow that moves across the entire space. Yellow and green steel climbers can be found throughout the middle of the structure, challenging kids’ strength and coordination in a multitude of ways. Rainbow slides are also located throughout, with a towering tube slide for daring climbers as well as shorter slides for younger children.
The rainbow motif continues throughout the space in the form of a multi-colored PlayCubes® structure, a striking orange and green Unity® Teeter Tunnel®, and blue and purple Unity® Steppers. Pops of color can also be found at the PlayTown™ Garden Sensory Walls, where kids can engage with thought-provoking inserts, and at the swings, where kids can enjoy a unique vestibular experience together via Hoopla Swing.
At the end of a day here, kids may not find gold—but they’ll certainly leave with friendships and memories to be treasured for years to come.

Determined to play alongside her friends, Julia Grassmick and her family partnered with the city of West Kelowna to create the first inclusive playground in their community!
Kids of all ability levels have plenty of options when it comes to choosing what play activity they’d like to partake in. The main play structure houses Accessible Climber, ensuring anyone with a mobility device is able to join their friends at the top of the playground. There, they can enjoy the rush of sliding down Mighty Descent, or stay and engage with the play panels located throughout the design.
Inclusive play activities also surround the structure. For swaying fun, Aero Glider and Hoopla Swing provide the perfect chance to feel the breeze, while other products such as Balance Trax offers a supportive layout for explorers.
Dispersed throughout the play space are numerous pieces from Unity®—our collection of modernized playground classics designed specifically to bring kids together. Unity Dome, RockR, and Teeter Tunnel each provide a unique play experience that multiple kids can enjoy at once.
All ages are accommodated too, with various PlayTown™ pieces such as Truck and Community Helpers providing a place for children ages 2 – 5 to engage in pretend play on their level. Their accessible design and open sightlines mean that inclusion begins at an earlier age for the next generation.
Julia’s Junction has made an impact on the whole community—now Julia can not only have fun with her friends, but all residents have the chance to come together for growth and play.

Surrey Downs Park has a long history of play. Over 50 years ago, the property was home to Surrey Downs Elementary School. As time went on, the property changed, eventually transferring to the City of Bellevue and becoming dedicated as a park. When the park was up for renovation, the community was excited to help develop a plan for the park—one of the first things on their list? A playground.
Playworld representative Northwest Playground Equipment, Inc., worked with the City and their Landscape Architect to create a playground where children are allowed an open-ended play experience, being able to climb up and around a series of cascading net platforms, walk across rope bridges, access lookout points perched high in the sky, and slide back down to the ground to start all over again. The playground is built right into the hillside, which includes ADA access all the way up to the highest point of the park with an accessible ramp that wheels onto the play structure. The hill even provides the perfect launching point for a zipline. Across from the school-age playground, there’s an area for swings with inclusive seats, as well as an early childhood playground built into and around a climbable turf mound.
While the park is open to the greater Bellevue community, it primarily serves the children and families in the Surrey Downs neighborhood overlooking the park—and the color palette shows it. The bright colors—chartreuse, orange, and aqua—were inspired by a mid-century color scheme, reflective of the era when this neighborhood was built. After all this time, play is still the focus of the property known as Surrey Downs Park.
