Landscape Structures Inc., a Delano-Minn.-based commercial playground equipment manufacturer, along with its partner Shane’s Inspiration, the only Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization specializing in the design and educational programming of inclusive playgrounds, announce the first inclusive playground in Ecuador. On Friday, Nov. 22, Paúl Granda López, Mayor of Cuenca, and representatives from Landscape Structures and Shane’s Inspiration helped open an 8,880 square-foot inclusive playground in an effort to promote equality, cohesion and social integration among children and families in the community.
