The project involves the creation of an outdoor playground and an indoor play and learning environment, which will be organised into imagination stations. The program includes three enclosed areas for storing arts and crafts materials with different themes, three creative play areas, a gross motor area for three to five-year-olds, and a separate baby area for children under three, which will be supervised at all times and will have specific games, as well as a reception and storage area. Additionally, there will be an outdoor play area with two different cubes, one for babies and toddlers and one for older children.

The project includes refurbishing some existing buildings into the “Imagination Stations Playground” and creating a new outdoor playground area. The indoor playscape will be housed in an old garage with a rectangular shape and high ceilings divided by a side entrance. The play area for the youngest kids occupies a fourth of the total area, while the other three-thirds of the space contains the three imagination stations, the gross motor play area, and the creative play corners. The older kids’ area is designed as a small town, with the imagination stations shaped like houses, including a train station, an art gallery, and a music theatre (according to the activities that will be developed in them). Opposite to these, shaped like little townhouses, are the three creative play spaces designed like a restaurant, a grocery shop, and a clothes shop, each with its own equipment.

The imagination station structures will be built with hollow metal sections and mesh resistant to wear and tear, finished with round edges and wooden pieces for safety. Above the three stations will run a bridge that children can reach by climbing a wall, going up stairs and ladders, and climbing tires. They can go down through a slide or a fireman’s pole.

The room will have a sink and a cleaning area to use after creative play and crafts, as well as a reception area where clients’ belongings and shoes can be stashed away, and where the main caregiver is located to control the whole space. The floors will be covered in soft artificial grass, and the walls will be painted with murals selected by the client. The two outdoor cubes set over an artificial grass floor will be made of metal and wood and will have diverse finishes to enhance gross motor skills and play, including a climbing wall, climbing ropes, tires, slides, and a fireman’s pole, among others. That area will include some shades, existing vegetation, and diverse picnic tables.
