Groundbreaking for Common Ground

Todd is a landscape architect by day, and came up with this amazing idea for an interactive playground in Lakeland. It involves a butterfly who greets children as they enter the park. There are activities for kids of all abilities, and the design encourages social interaction among all children.

The really amazing part of it all is that the City of Lakeland had a particular budget set for this park. When Glatting Jackson presented this idea, which was well above what they had budgeted for, the City of Lakeland fell in love with the concept, and found the funding to make it work.
