Lord Seaton Park Playground

Profile

The playground at Lord Seaton Park may be modest in size, but packs some serious play value into this neighbourhood gathering space. Working collaboratively with FORREC (formerly Scott Torrance Landscape Architecture), Earthscape developed an exciting rope challenge course for older children with multiple obstacles that require navigation, balance, coordination and strength.

For younger children, log steppers lead to an elevated slide platform. Where typical playgrounds often provide steppers or access routes with equidistant heights, the variety of stepper heights mean that children train their brains to tackle irregular surfaces and make choices as they discover the unlimited number of routes to access the platform.

Going through the rope obstacle course, children will test their skills and gradually improve their motor development each time they visit the playground.

Our journey began in 1998 when our founder, Adam Bienenstock, had a vision to create natural playgrounds that would connect children with nature. Since then, we've grown into a leading designer and builder of natural playgrounds in Canada and the United States. Our team is passionate about creating innovative, safe, and sustainable play spaces that inspire children to explore, learn, and have fun. What sets us apart is our approach to playground design. We don't just install off-the-shelf structures. Instead, we work closely with our clients to create custom playgrounds that reflect the unique beauty of their surroundings.

Our playgrounds encourage children to be active, imaginative, and social while fostering environmental awareness. We're proud to have created playgrounds that have become beloved community hubs and destinations for families to enjoy. Sustainability is also at the core of our philosophy. We use eco-friendly materials and practices, and our playgrounds are built to last for generations. We're constantly innovating to reduce…
