Missouri Place Play Structure

This little gem in West Los Angeles holds a special place in our hearts because it was created for families in need of safe, stable, and supportive housing. The surrounding development, Missouri Place by Thomas Safran & Associates, is a 74-apartment complex with 40% affordable units and 60% permanent supportive apartments for formerly unhoused families. Once they are settled in a safe, stable, and supportive environment, kids naturally seek out chances to play and this small but mighty structure is ready to comply!

This space beckons to children and provides opportunities for residents of all ages to connect with each other in a joyful and aesthetically pleasing outdoor area. A curved slide and ship’s wheel stimulate the imagination while an ADA-compliant open landing invites players of all abilities to participate.

On the other side, a rock climbing wall and hand-woven rope net ladder challenges kiddos’ strength and coordination. A colorful store front area invites them to a game of shopkeeper, complete with wooden groceries, a cash register, and pretend money slot.

And of course, like all our projects, Missouri places is made of sustainable redwood lumber and our non-toxic tung oil stain to protect it from the elements. Let the fun begin!
