We were proud to be a sponsor at the WASLA Field Day and to spend the day with landscape architects from across Washington. A highlight was visiting the University of Washington Haring Center Playground, where attendees experienced how play, accessibility, and landscape architecture come together as part of the overall site design. Working alongside Mithun this project demonstrates the impact thoughtful collaboration can have on creating spaces that serve the entire community. Thanks to WASLA and everyone who joined us. We always enjoy connecting with the design community and sharing the power of play. #WASLA #LandscapeArchitecture #InclusivePlay #Mithun #PlaygroundDesign

Celebrating Community, 30 Years Later 🎆 As Northwest Playground celebrates 30 years in business, we're especially grateful for the community that has supported us from the beginning. Issaquah has been our home for three decades, and we're proud to support events that bring neighbors, families, and friends together. It was a pleasure to participate in and support City of Issaquah's Fourth of July celebration and spend time with local leaders, including Mayor Mark Mullet and planning lead Janie Bube, to share our appreciation for everything they do to help make Issaquah such a vibrant and welcoming community. Thank you Attalia A. and Brian Erickson, MAOM for representing Northwest Playground at this special event. The parks, playgrounds, events, and public spaces that strengthen a community don't happen by accident. They are the result of passionate people working behind the scenes to create places and experiences where connections can grow. Thank you, Issaquah, for 30 incredible years. We're honored to be part of this community and look forward to helping create places for play, gathering, and connection for many years to come. #IssaquahWA #CommunityMatters #30Years #ParksAndPlaygrounds #BuildingCommunityThroughPlay

Back to school is one of our favorite times of year. For the school administrators, facilities directors, and playground coordinators we work with, August is busy. Supply lists, enrollment, schedules, first-day logistics. But it also means recess is back — and for a lot of kids, that's the part they've been waiting for all summer. We love what we do, and this season is a big reason why. Here's to a great school year for everyone. #BackToSchool #SchoolPlayground #PlaygroundDesign #Recess #SchoolsK12

Northwest Playground's unofficial Chief Fun Officer, Jimothy, has been spotted making the rounds again, reminding everyone of a very important mission: get outside and play! His latest stop? The incredible Muckleshoot South Winds Playground & Sports Complex, where he spent the day inspecting slides, supervising fun, and making sure the playground met his very high standards for adventure. Jimothy believes parks and playgrounds are for everyone, whether you're climbing, swinging, shooting hoops, exploring, or simply enjoying time with family and friends. This weekend, take a page from Jimothy's playbook: 🌳 Visit a local park 🛝 Try something new on the playground ⚽ Get moving outdoors 😊 Make time for fun After all, the world is a little better when we spend more time playing. #BuildingCommunityThroughPlay #NorthwestPlayground #MuckleshootSouthWinds #ChiefFunOfficer #CommunityThroughPlay 🐾

🌲 What happens when playground design takes its inspiration from nature? Wood and natural playgrounds invite children to climb, explore, imagine, and connect with the outdoors in ways traditional play spaces can't always replicate. From waterfront destinations like Seattle's Pier 58 to nature-inspired community parks across the Pacific Northwest, these unique play environments are helping create memorable experiences for children and families alike. Read our latest blog to discover why communities are embracing natural play and how wood, natural materials, and thoughtful design are bringing children back to nature.

Thirty years later, we're still doing what we love most: helping communities create places where people connect, belong, and play. From neighborhood playgrounds and schoolyards to destination parks and waterfront spaces, every project has been about more than equipment. It has been about building community through play. Over the last three decades, that mission has guided every partnership, every design, and every space we've helped bring to life. As we continue celebrating 30 years, we're grateful to the parks professionals, landscape architects, schools, municipalities, community organizations, partners, and families who have been part of the journey. This milestone belongs to all of us. https://lnkd.in/gAq7X7Jj #NWPlay30 #BuildingCommunityThroughPlay #ParksAndRecreation #NorthwestPlayground
