"Once the playground was open, there was a sense of calmness in the children when they entered the building that did not exist before."

Learning Landscapes is a forward-thinking program at the University of Colorado Denver that connects the design and construction of urban public spaces with healthy initiatives. 

Since 1998, in partnership with Denver Public Schools, we have transformed 48 neglected public elementary schoolyards into attractive and safe multi-use parks tailored to the needs and desires of their neighbors and communities.
