The project was planned as a school play area for the students of New England Jewish Academy. Spring playgrounds provided a varied equipment solution that combines physical play, climbing, sliding, swinging, and pretend play in one clear playground setting. The castle-inspired structure serves as the main feature of the space, while the smaller play unit creates an additional activity area for younger users.
Playground Equipment for a School in New England
This playground project was created for New England Jewish Academy in West Hartford, Connecticut, in collaboration with the distributor Hertz Furniture.
The space brings together a blue-and-cream castle-themed play structure, a separate unit for younger children, slides, swings, a bird’s nest swing, a low climbing feature, a fire truck element, and a spring rider. As part of the client’s request, the school logo was engraved into the equipment, adding a tailored detail that reflects the identity of the school.

About the Project and the Process
Highlights of the Project
Highlights/Uniqueness of the Project
The distinctive element in this project is the integration of the school emblem directly into the play equipment through custom engraving. This creates a direct visual link between the playground and the educational setting.
The playground also stands out through its combination of different play experiences: a prominent castle structure, a younger-child unit, swings, a bird’s nest swing, a fire truck element, a low climbing feature, and a spring rider.
Client Requirements
The client requested a playground for the school that would include a broad selection of play activities for students. The brief included central play equipment, a play unit for younger children, swings, and imaginative play elements.
Another important requirement was the custom engraving of the New England Jewish Academy emblem on the equipment, giving the playground a more personal and site-specific character.
Design Concept
The design concept is based on a clear, friendly, and recognizable playground character. The castle-style structure in blue and cream creates the main visual anchor of the space, while the younger-child play unit adds a softer play zone alongside it.
The engraved school emblem adds a custom layer to the design and helps connect the play area to the school’s identity and daily environment.
