We design and build natural playscapes: Innovations in play with old-world style.
More than a playground.
Natural Playscapes are built to last, using the best materials. Our designs will outlive the sterile plastic playgrounds of the past, aging beautifully and safely. Our innovative approach places health and sustainability at the heart of play.
A natural playscape is not just a playground. Here at TimberDoodle, we use the contours of the land and existing playable infrastructure (trees, rocks, hills, views) to guide our design. Our creations use local materials and native landscaping.
We create our playscapes using the strongest and most durable hardware available. Play should be about testing your own limits, not the limits of the play structure. That’s why we over-build everything we design. TimberDoodle playscapes are safe, long-lasting and low maintenance.
“Play is the only thing we do that is 100% authentic. The action of play shows us and makes us who we are.”
Ben Epperson Founder TimberDoodle Playscapes
FOUR TYPES OF PLAY PROJECTS:
Adventure Play: Like a playground but better. Large installations that can accommodate any number of people. Everything from climbing towers to water play.
Wow Play: Playable sculpture that creates shareable moments. These playscapes are destinations in themselves.
Path Play: Play should happen everywhere. Small installations that can fit alongside trails or in backyards.
Play Houses: Tree houses, caves, fairy houses. We want to build them all!
So many reasons to choose natural playscapes.
Children (and adults) are smarter, better able to get along with others, healthier, and happier when they are given regular opportunities for free and unstructured play outside.
We want to see more natural playscapes in the world. That’s why we are willing to work flexibly at a scale that’s right for you. TimberDoodle can design and build your entire project or work alongside your crew as a consultant. We are a small team of friends situated in a diverse network of makers, fabricators and artists. No matter the size of your project, we can find a way to make it amazing.
