Still one of Atlanta's favorite places to play 🎉 Candler Park's playground continues to draw hundreds of kids from across metro Atlanta, home to the longest hill slides in the city, a sky-high webbed climbing tower, shade sails, and a mountain of boulders made for climbing (or just sitting and taking it all in). Proud to have brought this one to life alongside Playcraft Systems.

We're excited to celebrate the grand opening of the new splash pad in the City of Newbern!
This project started with early conversations back in 2022, and it's been a rewarding journey to see it completed. Nearly 14,000 square feet of concrete transformed what used to be an old pool into a brand-new community gathering space, featuring Waterplay splash features and two large slides from Natural Structures.
Thanks to TLM Associates, Inc. for their design partnership on this one, and congratulations to the City Of Newbern TN- Gov on a wonderful new amenity for local families to enjoy!
This is what it’s all about. 🌞
Happy Park & Recreation Month. Here’s to the playgrounds where memories are made, day after day.
