EARTHSCAPE COLLECTIONS Earthscape is a leader in the renaissance of timber playgrounds. Inspired by children and play around the world, we are passionate about building serious fun. Our early work began with a focus on natural playgrounds for local schools and childcare centres, but quickly evolved into creating epic, bespoke destination playscapes. Earthscape Collections offers more communities access to our exceptionally designed, high-play-value, high-quality, handmade wood playground structures. Our playgrounds stimulate children’s imaginations, offer physical challenge and beneficial risk, foster social interaction, and creative play. Collections structures are built on-demand by skilled craftspeople using incredibly robust and long lasting materials.

WHY WOOD? Wood playgrounds are: •
connected to nature
•
crafted with sustainable & renewable building material
4
Wood isn’t just an aesthetic preference; it’s an ethical commitment. It allows us to think through our responsibilities. Wood is renewable, recyclable, has a low carbon footprint, and low embodied energy. It also has wonderful haptic and physical properties, as well as psychological benefits. In an age of artificial surfaces, we believe kids need more opportunities to engage with natural materials.
•
naturally beautiful & inviting
•
thermally comfortable, never getting too
For a wood playground to be successful and long-lasting, the right species of wood must be used. At Earthscape, we are committed to using wood that is:
hot or too cold
•
sustainably sourced from well-managed forests
•
durable, long-lasting & easy to maintain
•
durable & long-lasting
•
able to showcase hand craftsmanship
•
designed for varying environmental and use factors
•
creative & flexible in design
•
highly resistant to rot, insects, disease & wear

TOWERS Towers are an epic centrepiece for any playground. As playground structures with height and physical presence, towers have a magnetic attraction for children. Timber Towers offer enormous flexibility and customization, making them versatile additions to any playground. Log Towers have a more rustic aesthetic.

LOG PILES Log Piles are a magnificent open-ended play opportunity. Some children begin by climbing on the logs or laying on their back or front finding a sense of balance while stretched along the tree trunk. Others may want to crawl along, sit atop or climb over the logs, moving toward the ultimate challenge of balancing across the tops and navigating from beam to beam. Recommended for ages 2-5y / 18m-5y

SUSTAINABILITY As playground design builders, we think a lot about kids and the kind of world we’re building for them. That’s why we prioritize our impact on the environment, on our team, and our communities – near and far.
ONE FOR ONE
HABITAT RESTORATION
WOOD SOURCING
SINCE 2020, WE HAVE PLANTED OVER 30,000 TREES.
Locally and in partnership with a global non-profit, Earthscape plants a minimum of one tree for every tree used in our production process.
Timber used in Earthscape playgrounds is from: FSC certified sources, areas with extremely progressive forest practice codes, or small local timber suppliers.
Partners, Ben Schwarz and Alex Waffle at Earthscape's Earth Day 2026 tree planting event

Earthscape provides technical leadership for local habitat and reforestation projects that return former waste lands to forest and wetland.
MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY Our warranty is part of a broader promise: to support the longevity of your playground through responsive maintenance and reliable post-installation service. Earthscape stands behind the high-quality construction of all of our playground structures. Our commitment doesn’t end at installation. Structural components, including our primary wood species, are covered by a robust warranty. If any playground component requires repair or replacement, Earthscape’s warranty and service team will efficiently respond to your playground’s needs. Contact us at: warranty@earthscapeplay.com
54
SAFETY & ACCESSIBILITY Safety is woven into every step of our design and build process. Each playground is carefully reviewed to meet or exceed the most rigorous safety standards: CSA-Z614 in Canada, ASTM F1487 in the U.S., EN1176 in many other parts of the world, and applicable standards in other regions. Our in-house team, alongside trusted third-party experts, evaluates every element and site layout to ensure hazards are removed, while keeping the beneficial risks that build confidence, resilience, and joy. We also take inclusivity to heart. Beyond meeting accessibility requirements, our Collections structures are designed to contribute to spaces that are inclusive and welcoming for all children.
