Projects

Ilse and Charles Jobson Natural Play Park

The goal behind building a natural play park is to create a space where children can connect with nature through unstructured, imaginative play. These parks foster a deeper appreciation for the environment, enhance physical and mental well-being, and develop essential skills such as problem-solving and social interaction.
