 Children
need to have enriched play experiences, but with both parents working and an
elevated concern for safety, children are often delegated to institutionalized or
solitary forms of play. It is essential for children to be given the opportunity
to freely explore their world which a playground can help accomplish.
We help schools and community organizations
create playgrounds that are unique and affordable. Our clients are able to
develop their entire play area by combining custom and commercial features
within a landscaped environment that diversifies the possibilities of play.
 As
founder, David Verbeck comes from a background of child advocacy, design,
and construction. David has played an instrumental role in the release
of international and regional publications on the welfare of children. He
is also a trained sculptor, a former NYC
playground inspector and a designer/builder of
playgrounds and toys.
"My
experience with children and playgrounds has taught me some very valuable
lessons. The number one lesson is that children must be listened to.
Children want to build, invent, imagine, roll, dig, throw, bounce, or just
hide. Most playgrounds in Hawaii do not address their varied needs and
instead subscribe to expensive, commercial solutions which the playground sales
reps are all too eager to sell. Play must be taken out of the hands of playground manufacturers and put back
into the grasp of people that care about enriching a child's world."
We
encourage you to take the time and understand more about what play means to a
child and how to help encourage it. The links throughout this website are
going to give you a lot of insight but not any answers. The answers come
with commitment and work. We're here to help.

opportunity for play and recreation which should be directed to the same
purposes as education; society and the public authorities shall endeavor to
promote the enjoyment of this right."
