Video features a Landscape Structures custom Dia de los Muertos themed playground at Humble Elementary School in Humble Texas.

[video: scene fades into an elevated view of the entire play space as a crowd of children scatter to play on the many different colorful activities. Scene switches to a ground view of the main playstructure designed like a older stone building. A large flower shade system can be seen in the background. A woman speaks about the playground, white text in the lower left corner reads “Veronica Hernandez, Principal/Humble Elementary, Humble, Texas”.]

Veronica: We love our new playground it is so amazing. There’re so many thoughtful design details that make this place very unique.

Veronica voiceover: We love the elements of the artwork and the whimsical design that’s been incorporated because it really captures the spirit of our school.

[video: children play in the tower structure connected by belted cargo nets and rope climbers. Children climb panels designed like “Papel Picado” (colorful cut paper banners). Scene switches to an overhead view of one of the large shade systems designed like a large purple flower. Camera switches to a view of the second flower shade colored green and red. Camera rotates around the paint play structure as children play around. Camera jumps back to Veronica as she continues to speak about the playground.]

Veronica: One of the things that we really love about this place is the intentional design that captures our dual language program.

Veronica voiceover: So, it really has all those elements that make it inviting and brings a sense of community.

[video: a child walks across steppers designed like sugar skulls. A boy climbs through the center whole of a climber accented with sugar skulls and flowers. Camera views up at side panels accented with beautiful flowers. Camera focuses on a paned with different images of décor found during Dia de los Muertos. The panel reads “Can you find these around the playground?” Camera switches to a bird’s eye view of the entire play space. Scene switches to a view down at a girl as she climbs up a rock wall. Camera pans down across the different tears of the play structure connected by climbers and ramps. Two girl’s climb up the belted cargo net.]

Veronica voiceover: That’s one of the things that we were really hoping to gain is to really infuse our culture and let everybody know that you know we all belong.

[video: a girl climbs through an elevated perforated crawl tunnel. Camera follows a boy’s feet as he walks across a curved balance beam. Camera pans down from the tops of the tower structure with design panels to look like a Spanish tiled roof. Camera views up at the connected elevated crawl tunnel between the two towers. Children swing together on a swing set. From a view on the top of the slide the camera comes into focus and a girl rides down to the bottom with her hands raised in the air. Two girl’s stand in the play structure smiling and waving. A girl smiles and happily waves to the camera. Camera jumps back to Veronica.

Veronica: This playground is not just a place to play, it’s a place to grow, connect and celebrate the spirit of our school community.

[video: camera slowly backs away from the main play structure flying over the swing set and children play all around the play space. Screen jumps to white. A black vertical line appears in the center of the screen. The Lone Star Recreation logo slides out from the black line to the right of the screen. Then the Landscape Structures logo slides out to the left of the line. Text fades in below both logos reading: For a better tomorrow we play today. Screen fades to black and video ends.]
