"Community-built builds community." That's the motto for the family-owned architectural firm of Robert S. Leathers and Associates of Ithaca, New York.  Over the past 30 years, the firm of Leathers and Associates has coordinated the construction of over 1,600 unique, community-built playgrounds worldwide.

Columbia, Mississippi

 

These playgrounds begin with children's imaginations on Design Day and end with a playground that is a source of ongoing community pride.

In March of 2005, the Elba Playground Project took a giant step forward when a representative of Leathers and Associates came to Elba to design the playground based on suggestions of the local children. 

 

After meeting with the children of Elba, the design for our playground was drawn up.  You can click on the image below for a larger image.
