Holding fast to the belief that playground design should be a reflection of the world around it, Monstrum Playgrounds indulges in fantasy while tethering one foot in reality to further perpetuate the possibilities life has to offer. From warped recreation equipment that mimics the look of the houses behind it to giant spiders and pirate ships, Monstrum Playgrounds not only inspires creativity, but also challenges motor skills of all ages in a safe manner.
