Mission Statement

Our goal is to create an active playscape for the elderly, that is encouraged by intergenerational play and storytelling. This will be done by injecting the playscape on an elderly home.

Key Design Objectives

• Both a kid and an elderly person could play together
• Suitable for both able and non-able bodied people (wheelchairs, walkers, canes)
• Tells a story while being played that both the elderly and young kids would know

Storytelling

We wanted our playscape to be a place where the elderly could teach the younger generations. To do this, our play structures are based on themes from two stories. The Tortoise and the Hare and The Boy who Cried Wolf are the two fables that we chose because they are very well known and have good morals. While our playground does not directly reflect the exact stories, the main themes can still be learned by playing on it.
