"The PlaygroundBR team didn't just design a play area; they completely revitalized a forgotten public space in our neighborhood. Their focus on inclusivity was exceptional: they incorporated accessible elements for children with reduced mobility, something other companies had overlooked. The urban planning they applied perfectly integrated the recreation area with rest areas for adults and native vegetation. It is now the heart of our community."

The Las Acacias Neighborhood Board shares its experience redesigning a forgotten plaza.
President, Neighborhood Board
Las Acacias Neighborhood
"We didn't just receive a design, we received a space that is now the heart of our neighborhood."
We had a triangular plaza in the center of the neighborhood that had become a thoroughfare, without life or purpose. We wanted to reclaim it for families, but we didn't know where to start. The safety criteria and municipal regulations seemed like a labyrinth to us.
PlaygroundBR guided us through every step. Their team not only presented three creative design proposals that maximized the irregular space, but also handled all the permit management and regulatory compliance with the city council, a huge weight lifted off our shoulders.
The result exceeded all expectations. They created age-specific zones with durable, low-maintenance materials, integrated benches for the elderly under the shade of existing trees, and even included a small outdoor amphitheater for community activities.
What was a vacant lot is now full of laughter. Neighborhood cohesion has improved significantly. The project with PlaygroundBR was an investment in the health and happiness of our community.
