CMEE has re-imagined its backyard into a dynamic outdoor exhibition and play space unlike anything else on Long Island. We're working with an incredible team CMEE, LaGuardia Design Group, Studio Ludo, and Hampton Yards to create a space where kids and families can climb, swing, explore, and connect with nature with thoughtfully designed structures from Berliner Seilfabrik, WholeTrees and seating elements from Durbanis that blend beautifully with the natural environment.
The design embraces the site's natural topography, with play surfaces that flow organically across the landscape. Locally sourced boulders, mature shade trees, and sculptural climbing elements help define a variety of age-appropriate zones, each offering a distinct type of engagement. Carefully planned trails and ramps ensure access and exploration for all visitors.
LaGuardia worked to preserve as many existing trees as possible and focused on restoring disturbed areas with native plant species, resulting in a play area that blends with the surrounding environment.
