Terra Nova Play Experience is an immersive and interactive playground designed to spark imagination, creativity, and adventure in children and adults alike. It combines state-of-the-art technology with natural elements to create a one-of-a-kind play space that encourages participants to explore, learn, and grow together.
Hapa and Lynne Werker, designers of Terra Nova, developed a public strategy that involves the Big Kids Group, a panel of consultants that directed the project team in the early stages of data collection and site examination. The Little Kids Group, consisting of pupils from two nearby schools, also contributed their creative ideas and design skills to the endeavour.
The majority of elements are specifically created and crafted using British Columbia cedar and environmentally-responsible design approaches instead of opting for pre-made items.
