Dundas Central and Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds have been working together to rethink the way local school boards consider nature play and stormwater management. This project has been an over 10 year odyssey to challenge the way local school boards think about the learning environment outside the walls of our local schools.
The transformation created an iconic schoolyard and community gathering space. Refreshed in 2023, the site now features a massive custom Log Mash climber, an amphitheatre, an outdoor classroom, a full tree canopy, a sand play area, and countless opportunities to run, climb, hop, explore, and learn.

“I really admire what Bienenstock has done with their curriculum. It’s so important for kids to learn how to grow food, care for the soil, understand the changing seasons, identify useful plants, explore healing herbs, appreciate the beauty of flowers, and recognize what attracts pollinators. The key to inspiring our kids is shifting the curriculum to include more of this hands-on, nature-focused learning.” – Dundas Central
