Distant Playground

Playground designs are altered to align with social distancing policies

Due to this, consumers are looking for a sense of normalcy in their routine and search for ways to enjoy public locations with social distancing policies in place. They favor outdoor designs that monitor safety and offer a sense of normalcy that reminds them of pre-COVID life.
Workshop Question - How can your company pivot experiences to meet local and global safety standards?
