An adventure through nature


The COVID-19 pandemic has been tough on all people. Our team recognizes that it’s been especially tough on kids. Socialization is a key aspect of child development, much of which happens on the playground. A lot of this is being missed out on because COVID safety is currently too difficult to accomplish on playgrounds. Our Adventure Through Nature aims to provide a refreshing and practical playground experience for kids of all ages by providing a space full of discovery and excitement that upholds social distancing as a key value. This entails designing a cohesive system of play 'features' which, on their own, engage imaginations and promote physical exercise; and as a whole, foster a natural separation of families.

Our Team


The team behind Playcomb has a broad set of skills set across the design and technical spectrum. Together we've brought to life the spark of "What would a playground made for COVID times look like?" and turned it into this!
