This project features a school playground developed for New England Jewish Academy in West Hartford, Connecticut, through the distributor Hertz Furniture.
The play area includes a blue-and-cream castle-style main structure, an additional play unit for younger children, slides, swings, a bird’s nest swing, a low climbing element, a fire truck play feature, and a spring rider.
At the client’s request, the school emblem was engraved onto the play structure, creating a customized connection between the playground and the school’s identity.
The project focused on creating a playground environment for a private school, serving the students of New England Jewish Academy.
Psagot Playgrounds supplied a range of school playground equipment designed to support movement, climbing, sliding, swinging, and imaginative play within one organized play space.
The main castle-style structure became the central visual element of the playground, while the younger-age play unit helped create a natural separation between different activity zones.
A key feature of this project is the customized engraving of the New England Jewish Academy emblem on the play structure.
This detail gives the playground a distinct connection to the school and turns the equipment into part of the campus identity.
The combination of a castle-themed main unit, swings, a bird’s nest swing, a fire truck element, and younger-child play equipment creates a varied play environment without relying on a single activity type.
The client requested a school playground with a variety of play elements for students, including central play structures, equipment for younger children, swings, and features that support imaginative play.
The client also requested that the school emblem be engraved onto the equipment, creating a personalized playground experience for New England Jewish Academy.
During the design phase, the playground was planned around several types of activity: sliding, climbing, swinging, role play, and active use of the main play structure.
The layout included a tall, visible castle-style structure alongside complementary play elements such as the fire truck, spring rider, swings, and bird’s nest swing.
This approach created a school playground with multiple ways to play, rather than focusing on one central function.
The design language combines a playful and recognizable castle look with a personalized school detail.
The blue-and-cream color palette gives the main structure a clear visual presence, while the additional younger-age unit adds another layer of play and color.
The engraved school emblem strengthens the connection between the playground and New England Jewish Academy, making the play area feel like an integrated part of the school environment.
