Natural Outdoor Learning Spaces for Schools
Let Playscape help you integrate the wonders of nature into the learning environment. We specialise in creating outdoor learning spaces for schools that blend fun and education, providing children with an immersive experience like no other.
Our Projects
When designing natural outdoor learning space or playground for schools, we ask, “What do the children want?” While we can’t build a flying fox over a fire-breathing dragon, we always welcome the chance to engage and collaborate with your students. If you would like us to create your school’s ultimate “wish list” with a space unique to them – we are all ears!
Let’s work together to create a safe, magical and functional outdoor learning space or playground for your students. Working collaboratively to build a sense of ownership and pride in the finished space.

Adding More Opportunities & Spaces for Learning & Play
Schools have a wide range of outdoor spaces that can be utilised in many ways to enhance our tamariki’s learning, growth, and development. At Playscape, we want to maximise these spaces to add more opportunities for discovery, learning, and play.
From the initial concept to the design process and construction, our outdoor learning spaces are bound only by your imagination. Children love places to jump, balance, climb, swing, and physically challenge themselves. With Playscape’s natural-looking playgrounds, we create boundless opportunities for children to enhance social interaction, collaborative play, goal setting, and decision-making.
Let’s take the teaching outside – creating an open-air learning environment that not only highlights the beauty of the outdoors but also encourages children to engage in activities that nurture self-confidence, build self-esteem, promote physical activity, and embrace a love of nature.
Equally a quiet “breakout” zone, our natural outdoor learning spaces can become an extension of the classroom – allowing children a quiet, calm place to study individually or collaboratively – while enveloped in the natural landscape.
Sensory gardens add another dimension to a school’s outdoor experience by providing a stimulating and enriching environment through the use of sand, water, textures, and a variety of natural materials. They engage with the children and appeal to their senses while providing an educational experience.
