Play Takes the Show Floor: Our Week at NRPA 2026 🌳🛝

Posted on October 15, 2026 by PlayLSI

The 2026 National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Annual Conference in Philadelphia brought together thousands of parks and recreation professionals to explore new ideas, connect with industry partners, and celebrate the power of play.

For Landscape Structures, NRPA 2026 was a week full of excitement. We showcased Smart Play® Volo Pico+™, celebrated an award from KABOOM!, and connected with customers and friends at The Franklin Institute.

Throughout the conference, one thing stood out: The parks and recreation community shares our passion for creating spaces that bring people together.

Here’s what we saw, heard and loved.

A record crowd with constant energy

More than 8,000 people attended this year’s conference, and our team felt it from the very first morning.

In some years, the booth traffic comes in waves. This year, it felt constant.
Longtime customers stopped by to reconnect with their Landscape Structures consultants. Meanwhile, plenty of first-time visitors discovered our brand and explored our playground, splash play and shade solutions.

The weather helped, too. “It was gorgeous out, and everyone was excited to be there,” said Sandy Swanson, event specialist at Landscape Structures. “The vibe in the conference hall was so positive.”

A booth you had to walk all the way around

Our booth sat in the middle of the exhibit hall, and it was hard to miss. Tall walls with bold messaging framed a bright, colorful Smart Play® Volo Pico+™ playstructure. From the aisle, visitors could only see part of it, making them want to step inside and discover the rest.
Once they did, there was plenty more to explore.

LED walls showcased playgrounds, splash pads and communities from across the country. A color wall highlighted the inspiration behind our nature-based palettes, showcasing shades like Berry, Paprika, Honey and Peacock.

Visitors could ride down a slide built into the bleachers. At the activity counter, they picked up postcards, pins, bags, mini backpack charm bags and chocolates. More than once, we heard that it was the best activity counter at the show.

“It was much more of an experience than a product display,” said Megan Andrada, director of marketing at Landscape Structures.

That matters. “People remember how they feel. They don’t always remember how things look,” Sandy said. Our goal is simple: We want a visit to our booth to feel like a visit to a playground.

Volo Pico+ was the ⭐

One of the biggest highlights of NPRA 2026 was the introduction of Volo Pico+ to the parks and recreation community. Designed specifically for children ages 2 to 5, Volo Pico+ made its second major industry appearance just one week after previewing at ASLA.

At NRPA, it quickly became the main topic of conversation in our booth. “There wasn’t a lot of explanation needed,” Megan said. “There was just a lot of positivity”. Visitors loved how easy it is for adults to move through the structure alongside children. The die-cast car track sparked plenty of nostalgia, while others pointed out that there is something to do from every angle, not just a slide at the end. The colors drew attention, too. Again and again, visitors stopped to talk about the palette and how inviting the entire structure felt.

The response reinforced an important idea behind early childhood playground design: Thoughtful details can create more opportunities for children and caregivers to play, connect and explore together.

A Spark Award from KABOOM!

NRPA week brought another exciting moment for Landscape Structures.
During the conference, we were honored to receive a 2026 Spark Award from KABOOM!, an organization dedicated to ensuring all kids have access to the play they need to thrive.
The award was a meaningful reminder of why we do what we do.

While innovative playground equipment and inspiring projects often take center stage at industry events, the conversations throughout the week kept coming back to the same thing: Play is life-changing.

Celebrating with our friends at KABOOM!, who believe every kid deserves access to play.

Conversations that stayed with us

Some of the best moments had nothing to do with products. During booth setup, an NRPA show coordinator stopped by to find Sandy. She pulled out her phone and shared photos of herself and her nephew playing on a Landscape Structures playground in Connecticut.
“We had the most fun,” she said.

Another longtime industry professional stopped by simply to reconnect with the team. He shared stories about knowing Landscape Structures founders Barb and Steve King for decades and spent time catching up with David Smith, senior vice president of sales at Landscape Structures.

Everyone knows how to play, and almost everyone has a playground story.
That’s what makes these conversations so meaningful. Behind every playground project are people, memories and connections that extend far beyond the equipment itself.

A book signing in the booth

The Landscape Structures booth also welcomed Jamie Sabbach, founder and president of 110% Inc. for a book signing.

Jamie is the author of The Bison Principle: Clarity, Discipline, and Courage in Local Government Through the Lens of Parks and Recreation. A well-known voice in the parks and recreation industry, Jamie brought new faces into the booth and sparked meaningful conversations throughout the event.

Landscape Structures has proudly sponsored her Financial Sustainability Certification Program for several years. The book signing offered another opportunity to highlight that partnership and connect with industry professionals who share a passion for strengthening parks and recreation agencies.

Nothing About Us Without Us

The week’s conversations extended beyond the show floor.

Landscape Structures’ Jill Moore, inclusive play specialist, and Scott Roschi, creative director, led a discussion titled “Nothing About Us Without Us”. Their discussion focused on the importance of involving people with disabilities in the playground design process.

The session explored how designers can learn from lived experiences, gather meaningful feedback and create play environments that serve a wide range of abilities. It’s an approach that reflects our commitment to inclusive play and a belief that everyone deserves opportunities to participate.

The takeaway was clear: The most inclusive playgrounds are created with communities, not just for them.

A party in a museum made for curiosity

Our customer celebration took over The Franklin Institute, welcoming more than 2,000 guests for an evening of exploration, conversation and celebration. Food and drinks were spread throughout the museum, giving guests the freedom to wander, reconnect with colleagues and discover exhibits at their own pace.

“Usually a party can be an open bar and some tables,” Sandy said. “This was fun for everyone”. The Benjamin Franklin National Memorial glowed purple in the rotunda. Nearby, a large screen nearby displayed a message we believe deeply: Play is life-changing. Guests collected buttons along the way, and the event t-shirts were a hit.

The museum itself felt like a perfect fit. Many of the exhibits are designed to make big ideas tangible through hands-on experiences and curiosity-driven exploration. That’s the same philosophy behind the playgrounds we create.

15 Projects That Show What’s Possible Through Custom Play Space Design

Posted on October 8, 2026 by PlayLSI

Great play space design starts with more than choosing playground, splash play or shade equipment. It starts with understanding the place, the people who will use it and the experience a community wants to create.

That idea is at the heart of the 2027 PLAY Book, our annual collection of standout playground, splash play and shade designs from across the country. This year’s edition features 15 projects that demonstrate how custom play space design and collaboration can transform outdoor spaces into memorable community destinations.

From imaginative custom playgrounds to environments that seamlessly bring together play, water and shade, each project offers a different answer to the same question:

What’s possible when great design leads the way?

Creating custom play space designs with a sense of place

Playgrounds have an important role in placemaking. A thoughtfully designed play environment reinforces the identity of a park, complements the surrounding landscape and helps turn an outdoor space into a destination where people want to gather.

That connection to place takes many forms throughout the 2027 PLAY Book.

At Redwood Park in Apple Valley, Minn., an imaginative ocean-inspired environment transforms the playground into an adventure, complete with a giant Kraken, lighthouse and lifeguard station. Beyond its visual impact, the design combines imaginative, physical and inclusive play opportunities to create a gathering place designed for the entire community.

In Boston, Clifford Playground uses art to become play. Inspired by the tools and imagination of an urban artist, the colorful custom playground carries its creative theme throughout the play space, from oversized paint-inspired elements to vibrant surfacing and opportunities for sensory, imaginative and shared play. The result shows how customization can do more than create visual impact. It can give a playground a distinct identity and turn a community gathering place into an experience all its own.

The results look completely different, and that’s the point. Custom play space design creates opportunities to tell the story of a place rather than simply fill its footprint.

Designing for more ways to play

Great design also considers how children experience a space.

Physical challenge is important, but play can also encourage imagination, problem-solving, sensory exploration. It can create opportunities for social interaction and moments to pause and recharge. Designing for varied experiences also helps more children find their way into play. This includes children of different ages, interests and abilities.

Inclusive playground design is part of that thinking from the beginning. It means considering access alongside the variety, challenge and developmental value of the experiences available throughout the space.

Across the 15 projects featured in the PLAY Book, those principles take different forms. There are spaces to climb high, move fast and test new skills, alongside opportunities for imaginative, sensory and social play. Together, they create environments that invite children to explore in their own ways and return to discover something new.

Looking beyond the playground

Some of the most compelling outdoor recreation spaces happen when playground equipment is considered as one part of a larger experience.

District 1876 Park in Coleman, Texas, illustrates that approach. Contemporary playground equipment works alongside an Aquatix® splash pad and SkyWays® shade to create a cohesive destination for the community. The park demonstrates how playground, splash play and shade can work together to extend the experience and create a comfortable gathering place for children and families.

Landscape architects and park and recreation professionals can consider how each element connects to the surrounding site. Color, materials and landscaping all contribute to the overall experience. Likewise, shade and water can help create a cohesive environment. Together, these elements create a space that feels intentional rather than assembled one piece at a time.

Collaboration turns ideas into destinations

Behind every distinctive play space is a collaborative design process.

Landscape Structures was founded by a landscape architect, and for more than 50 years, we’ve worked alongside landscape architects, designers, park and recreation professionals, and communities to bring their ideas to life.

Sometimes that means collaborating from the earliest sketches to develop a fully custom playground. Other times, it means providing design tools, planning resources, product expertise and inspiration that allow designers to lead the vision. There is no single path to a successful play environment because there is no single community, site or project goal.

That collaborative approach is reflected throughout the 2027 PLAY Book. In fact, the 15 featured projects vary in scale, style and setting, each demonstrates how thoughtful choices can create spaces that support community goals while delivering meaningful play experiences.

Who gets designed in: Notes from the 2026 ASLA expo floor

Posted on September 24, 2026 by PlayLSI

Scott Roschi, creative director at Landscape Structures, spends his days thinking about how design, play and place come together to create experiences people remember. After attending the 2026 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture in Los Angeles, he shares what caught his attention on the expo floor—and what those observations might say about where playground design trends are headed.

I didn’t make it into a single education session at the 2026 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture in Los Angeles. I spent the conference on the expo floor, which turned out to be a good place to read where the profession is heading when it comes to playground design trends.

Designing play for more ages

The surprise this year was age range. ASLA has traditionally featured plenty of big play for 5- to 12-year-olds. This year, more manufacturers brought playground equipment designed for children ages 2 to 5, and there was more adult fitness equipment than I remember seeing at past shows. The floor covered more ages at both ends.

By the time Karlye Emerson, president and CEO of Landscape Structures, spoke at the Opening General Session at the end of the first day, I’d been seeing that shift for hours. One line of her remarks named it: “the places we create today will serve communities for years, even generations, to come.”

Serving more ages and serving them together are different design problems. The second one is what we took on with Smart Play® Volo Pico+™, our new playstructure designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers ages 2 to 5, which we previewed at ASLA.

What parents and kids taught us about early childhood play

Before showcasing Volo Pico+ at ASLA, we put an early prototype in front of real parents and kids and watched where the design got in their way. Then we changed it.

We removed several barrier elements around the perimeter so a parent or caregiver can get to the LSI Flexx® net and steady a child without reaching over anything. We raised the shade so an adult can stand comfortably on the deck. When the same families came back for the second prototype review, they noticed.

So did one landscape architect at our booth.

Before anyone explained anything, he walked the playground structure and started pointing things out: the spots where a parent could step in and help, the net tying the whole structure together, the fact that it has no front or back, and a height that never felt intimidating even up close.

He has designed and specified plenty of playstructures himself, so he knew what he was looking at. As soon as he left, I found Tory Roff, principal designer on Volo Pico+, and told him it was like the landscape architect had been sitting in our design meetings. He’d covered nearly everything we talked through during design and testing, and he got all of it from the structure itself.

That’s what good design should do. You shouldn’t need someone standing beside it explaining why every decision was made.

Designing for generations, not just age groups

The die-cast car track got the biggest reaction of the week. Almost everyone who stopped had a story about the cars they played with as a kid and what it’s like to hand that experience down to their own children.

One dad told me his daughter plays with die-cast cars shaped like animals. She uses them completely differently than he ever did, building a world of her own, and he gets to watch.

That’s the generational play Karlye was talking about, told by the people living it.

The 2027 PLAY Book works on the same principle at project scale. Every project featured in it was created with a specific landscape architecture firm and a specific community, and the book names them. The playground isn’t treated as something dropped into a site. It is part of a larger vision for the place.

Aaron Skogen, general manager at Aquatix®, and Heidi Stengel, sales design manager at Aquatix, made a version of the same case for splash play in their ASLA Learning Lab presentation. Universal design isn’t about designing an experience for one group of people. Done well, it creates environments that work better for everyone who shows up.

What color trends tell us about design

Then there was the pink.

More of the industry is developing its own colors now, and that’s good to see. What caught me was how many site furnishings companies arrived with the same family of pink. It felt out of left field.

Hot pink was everywhere at the World Cup this summer, showing up on boots from nearly every footwear brand and standing in sharp contrast to the green field. That convergence had a reason.

At ASLA, I’m less sure what the reason was.

When a color shows up everywhere at once, I want to know where it started—and whether it started with anyone’s site.

Curiosity as a design method

Later in the week, I spent time at San Diego Design Week, and the thing that connected both events was curiosity.

Every landscape architect and designer I met at either one was doing what I was doing: watching for what’s next and figuring out how to use it on the next project.

That curiosity is also a method.

Volo Pico+ got better because someone watched a parent struggle to reach their child and went back to change the design. That observation became a different barrier, a higher shade and a better experience for the adults and children using the space together.

Playground design trends will change. Colors will change. The equipment on the expo floor will change. But the question worth carrying into the next project is more enduring:

Who gets designed in—and who might we be unintentionally designing out?

Play Grows With Us: Inside the Neighborhood Ninjas NinjaFit Grand Opening

Posted on September 3, 2026 by PlayLSI

On Aug. 22, teens and adults in Lee, Mass., found themselves climbing, swinging, reaching and occasionally falling short before getting right back up to try again thanks to a new outdoor fitness playground.

They had some expert help. American Ninja Warrior®, a registered trademark of Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc., competitors Jessie Graff, Ginny McColl, Alyssa Beird and others were there to offer encouragement and coach attendees through the obstacles at the grand opening of the Neighborhood Ninjas NinjaFit Playground.

Neighborhood Ninjas is a nonprofit organization that uses the sport of American Ninja Warrior to help youth build active lifestyles, confidence, connection and resilience. The Lee playground is its second NinjaFit location, following the first in Wilmington, Del.

Nobody had to tell the adults to play. Give people an interesting enough challenge, and play happens naturally.

The new NinjaFit Playground, featuring Landscape Structures’ FitCore™ Extreme equipment for ages 13+, offers a reminder that playgrounds don’t have to be something we leave behind as we grow older.

We Don’t Outgrow Play

Play changes as we grow. The activities that captivate a preschooler aren’t necessarily going to capture the attention of a teenager. But the desire to challenge ourselves, connect with others and experience the satisfaction of accomplishing something difficult doesn’t disappear.

Maybe we don’t age out of play. Maybe the way we want to play simply evolves.

“Obstacles are a metaphor for life,” said Alex Katz, executive director of Neighborhood Ninjas and an American Ninja Warrior competitor. “We’re helping young adults get stronger, work on growth mindset and resilience, and learn how to overcome obstacles, not just on the course, but in real life, too.”

For teens and adults, play might involve physical challenge and perceived risk. It can mean competition one minute and cooperation the next. It’s trying, failing, laughing and trying again. And when movement feels like play rather than a prescribed workout, being active can simply be fun.

Designing for the Ages We Often Overlook

Traditional playgrounds provide important opportunities for children to move, explore and socialize. But as children enter their teenage years, there can be fewer spaces intentionally designed for the ways they want to gather and be active.

“Teens in Berkshire County are looking for spaces that they can be more social in, that help them become better members of society,” said Stacy Parsons, director of community engagement and juvenile diversion.

Designed for ages 13+, FitCore Extreme provides progressively challenging obstacles that encourage strength, agility, balance and coordination. Outdoor fitness playgrounds can make physical activity more accessible and engaging while providing opportunities for teens and adults to challenge their fitness.

They can also help parks serve the whole family.

“Many communities are searching for ways to create multigenerational spaces, and FitCore Extreme equipment allows for that,” said David Smith, senior vice president of sales at Landscape Structures. “Outdoor fitness equipment can be installed near a traditional playground so the entire family, including teen siblings and parents, can stay active while younger children play.”

Challenge Meets Community

That sense of connection was on full display during the NinjaFit grand opening.

The American Ninja Warrior competitors weren’t there simply to demonstrate what they could do. They coached attendees through obstacles, celebrated successes and encouraged people to try again when they didn’t quite make it.

It reflected something at the heart of ninja culture: Challenge may be individual, but overcoming it doesn’t have to be.

And sometimes the encouragement you need is simple.

“If I can do it, you can do it,” said Ginny McColl.

At 74, McColl knows something about refusing to put an age limit on challenge. The mother of Jessie Graff, McColl began her own strength journey at age 61.

“My motto is ‘strength is ageless,’” McColl said. “You’re never too old, and you’re never too late to start.”

After falling early in her first American Ninja Warrior competition, McColl remembers her daughter reminding her not to let one fall define her and instead recognize how far she had come.

It’s a lesson that works on and off the course.

Play at 3 might look like navigating a wiggly ladder, and at 8 it might mean climbing to the top of a playground tower. At 15, it might be racing a friend through an outdoor fitness playground. At 40, it could mean wondering whether you can still make it across the monkey bars.

And at 74? It might mean looking at the next obstacle and thinking, “Why not?”

Building Confidence Through The Outdoor Fitness Playground

Physical challenges can also create opportunities to practice persistence, problem-solving, confidence, healthy risk-taking and resilience.

Beird sees that connection from two perspectives, as both a ninja athlete and a teacher.

“Physical challenges are often easier for middle schoolers and teenagers to try versus a difficult subject in school,” she said. “If they can build their confidence completing these obstacles, they may have more confidence heading into the classroom.”

That’s what makes spaces like the NinjaFit Playground more than outdoor fitness equipment. They create opportunities to discover what our bodies can do, experience failure in a supportive environment and build the confidence to try again.

Katz hopes that spirit becomes part of the new playground’s identity. A year from now, she wants to see teens gathering, families challenging one another, people building confidence and strength, and community members encouraging each other.

Playgrounds don’t have to be places we leave behind as we grow up. By creating experiences that evolve with our abilities, interests and desire for challenge, we can invite more generations to keep moving and playing.

Because play is life-changing, no matter your age.

Safety is our top priority

Posted on August 6, 2015 by PlayLSI

Kids are always finding new and inventive ways to play on or around playground equipment. And while they may scrape an elbow or bruise a shin, it’s important to take steps to eliminate the risk of more serious mishaps. We make playground safety a top priority, and we’ll help you keep kids safe with our age-appropriate commercial playground equipment:

With the infant slide, appropriately sized climbers and other playground equipment designed for 6- to 23-month-olds, infants and toddlers gain strength, stability and motor skills, along with a host of other physical and cognitive skills.
Preschoolers are developing physical play and are thinking more creatively. We have many playground designs that offer age-appropriate play elements that test motor skills, strength and agility of kids ages 2 to 5.
School-aged kids need physical and mental challenges while they play. Our commercial playground equipment for 5- to 12-year-olds help them develop balance, coordination, muscle endurance, problem-solving skills, social skills and much more.
Even kids in middle school love to stay active through play. We offer a wide variety of playground activities that meet the needs of this group to keep them engaged and challenged. From Aeronet® Climbers to Skatewave® Skatepark equipment and the HealthBeat® Outdoor Fitness System, you’ll find choices that this hard-to-please age group will love.

Even more, our playground safety surfacing will help keep kids safe from falls and our CoolToppers® shade systems will help protect them from harmful UV rays. Learn more about our commitment to playground safety at playlsi.com.
