Warner Larson renovated both the 2-5 and 5-12 playgrounds as two separate projects. The goal of design was to provide a more challenging play for the kindergartens and have a unique play structure for the older children.

A huge success towards creating unique play structure for the older children was due to the significant funds raised by the PTO group.

This project was on an aggressive timeframe and Warner Larson helped formed a core group of stakeholders during the design process each representing the different groups of teachers, special ed, students and parents.

Warner Larson helped the school and PTO group through an iterative process of several design options and budget considerations before finalizing on the final design which involved raising additional funds.

The colors for the play structure along with the solar and galaxy theme safety surfacing pattern were intended to be futuristic along with offering educational inspiration. New site amenities and shade planting was provided throughout the playground. An amphitheater seating and some nature play was created using the natural existing slope but an accessible walkway loop was provided connecting all the play elements. This playground has become a destination on weekends for the residents of Andover.
