FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lougheed celebrates continuous play with launch of
eco-friendly playground
Shopping centre takes playtime to new heights with unique addition
BURNABY, BC, March 25, 2015 –Families are flocking to Lougheed to get a first look at its
new eco-friendly playground, now open at centre court. Recommended for children ages 5-12, the
compact and contemporary structure is designed to look and feel just like the great outdoors,
complete with a synthetic lawn.
“We’re thrilled to introduce this state-of-the-art playground to our valued guests, particularly
families in the community,” said Sara Park, marketing manager for Lougheed. “Our goal is to
provide a unique space where kids can play safely, get creative and have fun, while maintaining
our commitment to low environmental impact.”
The playground’s manufacturer, Landscape Structures, strives to foster active and healthy
children in relation to a hearty environment. With a focus on developing products out of recycled
or reclaimed industrial and post-consumer waste, Landscape Structures builds playgrounds with
the concept of ‘continuous play’ in mind. This approach treats playgrounds as social spaces and
encourages decision-making, interaction and cooperation among kids, rather than isolating them
on independent slides and swing sets.
“We want Lougheed to be an engaging and fun shopping destination for adults and kids alike,”
added Park. “Coupled with the recent introduction of world-renowned children’s apparel retailer
carter’s | OshKosh, the new playground helps create a modern family-friendly shopping
experience.”
