In 2017, we created a movie that represents the heart of Landscape Structures. Play shapes kids into better adults. Through play, kids learn about themselves, how to interact with others, and they develop physically and emotionally. Play is one of the most organic ways kids learn, and we're proud to be part of that.

Watch our video from 2017 above, then watch the sequel, "Play Will Always Shape Us."
