Meaningful Playgrounds for the Whole Community

Page 1

Meaningful Playgrounds for the Whole Community Habitat Systems has had the privilege to collaborate with over a hundred Indigenous groups in providing spaces where kids can be kids. We use methods and materials that respect and give back to the environment, so the children of today can play while we plan for the children of the future. We build rewarding and lasting relationships with our clients, and give solutions that go above and beyond traditional playgrounds. Habitat offers a full service, complete with design, installation, and support after your playground is complete. In the end, we want to leave kids with a smile on their faces and a playground to be enjoyed for decades.

Our Environmental Commitment

Leaders in Sustainability Part of making the right choices for our children is making sure we're not taking away from children in the future. Both Habitat and our playground manufacturer, Landscape Structures, hold our environment in high regard and make sure we factor the earth's wellbeing into our business practices. Landscape Structures began putting formal environmental processes in place more than 20 years ago, and continue them to this day while manufacturing sustainable playgrounds.

C02 Offsetting

Award-Winning Practices

Landscape Structures, in conjunction with Global Releaf, donates a specific number of trees to directly offset the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) produced in the manufacturing of each and every play system they supply.

Landscape Structures received the Tekne Green Award in 2008 for their commitment to sustainability, and have been recognized as a leader for their outstanding waste reduction and recycling efforts.

Smart Materials

A Certified Commitment

Landscape Structures is committed to producing the highest-quality, most environmentally preferable equipment available, like their recycled Permalene panels or the "Smart Play" line that features an extra efficient use of materials.

Landscape Structures is ISO 14001 certified, meaning they hold the highest standard for conservation and recycling processes. They were the first North American playground equipment manufacturing company to receive this certification.

Playgrounds That Last a Lifetime Nothing fills up our landfills like poorly made goods. That's why Landscape Structures uses only the best materials and most innovative products, ensuring your playground is fun for everyone and enjoyed for generations to come. Landscape Structures has taken every measure to ensure the durability and safety of all play equipment and offers the most comprehensive long-term warranties in the industry. More than just a contract, their 100 year warranty is their personal commitment that you’ll be satisfied with your purchase now and far, far into the future. habitat-systems.com


DigiFuse Whether your project needs a custom sign, graphic panels, or regional theming, DigiFuse provides vivid, full-color, photo-realistic graphics with long-lasting durability. Let us show you how easily and effectively DigiFuse could honour Indigenous history or depict local flora & fauna.

Colour With 38 options for post colour alone, our brilliant selection of playground colours features nature-inspired shades, bright pigments, and everything in between. Whether you want colours that match the salal around your play space, mimic the scales of a sturgeon, or reflect your nation's symbol, we will create a meaningful palette that honours the subject.

Natural Textures Sometimes in the interest of durability or playground location, it can be best to bring natural elements to the playground if the form of hand painted and beautifully crafted GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) features. Animals, rocks, tree trunks, and canoes are just some of the features we have created in the past.


Inclusive Play Habitat is a veteran of inclusive playground design. When we design universally inclusive playgrounds, we take all the members of your community into consideration. Playgrounds should be fun for everyone, and that means choosing components that appeal to children of all abilities, including children that have disabilities or disorders relating to mobility, vision, hearing, cognition, and more. We choose to represent Landscape Structures playground equipment because of their ongoing commitment to making inclusive playgrounds that go far beyond accessibility.
