The Project
Building a new inclusive playground where more kids can move, explore, connect and play.
Lake Country School • Hartland, Wisconsin
Why a New Playground?
Play is an essential part of childhood. It gives kids a place to move their bodies, build confidence, use their imaginations, form friendships and simply have fun.
At Lake Country School, we have an opportunity to create a playground that better reflects the needs of the children and families it serves today. Our vision is a thoughtfully designed, inclusive space with more opportunities for children of different ages and abilities to participate, explore and play together.
Our Vision
We envision a playground that invites more children into play and gives them more ways to participate. A space that encourages movement and imagination, creates opportunities for connection and gives kids room to challenge themselves, explore and have fun.
More Ways To Play
A variety of play experiences that encourage movement, exploration and imagination.
More Ways to Belong
A thoughtful, inclusive environment designed with different ages, abilities and ways of playing in mind.
Built For Our Community
A lasting investment in Lake Country School and the children and families who will enjoy it for years to come.
Building Toward $500,000+
