Playground Portfolio

Collaborative, creative landscape solutions

Garland Alliance provides an extensive level of options for the Playground experience of children ranging from pre-school to middle school, as well as children with challenges.

Our goal is to develop your child’s love of the natural world, your child’s ability to work independently and cooperatively, and general physical large and small motor skill development.

Our experience has ranged from artificial built environments in a tough urban area to a very native natural built environment at a nationally recognized nature center. Our designs evolve out of the child’s needs first, and connect them to the school needs and the needs of the site. The result is a unique expression of design and utilitarian function. We will work anywhere in the United States and beyond.

• Penfield Children's Center

  Design and managed installation of this urban playground for challenged children in the inner city. Extensive use of synthetic turf and rubber trail system for durability and ease of maintenance which was a priority for this non-profit facility.

• Schlitz Audubon Nature Center

  Designed and managed construction of this natural and site specific native plant community playground. Worked with staff and Naturalist to design playground for environmental awareness as well as play area.

Our portfolio is currently in development. More coming soon.
