Landscape Structures Inc. (LSI), founded in 1971 by Barbara and Steve King, is a playground design firm based in Delano, Minnesota. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Landscape Structures has designed, manufactured and installed more than 50,000 playgrounds worldwide. [5] They have installations in every state of the US plus Washington, D.C.; globally in Australia, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, [6] Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, United Arab Emirates, and Uruguay.
Originally manufactured of wood, now they primarily utilize steel, aluminum and polyethylene while continuing to develop products using recycled or reclaimed industrial and post-consumer waste.
LSI became ISO 9001 certified in 1996 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and then in 1998 they became ISO 14000 certified for their environmental conservation and recycling processes. [7]
In 2013, LSI joined Kiwanis International as a vision partner to bring play to communities across the globe. [8] [9]
Playgrounds catering to "children with developmental disabilities like autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, and sensory processing disorder" designed by LSI are called “inclusive play". [10]
In 2015, Landscape Structures acquired Aquatic Recreation Company and Commercial Aquatic Engineering, rebranding the water and splash-play market portion of the business as Aquatix and moving it from Eden Prairie to Delano. [11] Shortly thereafter, LSI launched SkyWays Shade Division to manufacture shade products in Dallas, Texas. [11]
In 2000, Barb established the Barbara King Landscape Architecture Scholarships for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Iowa State University, and Steve provided resources for the outfitting of the landscape architecture graduate studios in the College of Design. [13]
Co-founder Barbara King, set up the Säjai® Foundation in 2006 to find solutions for childhood obesity using education and opportunity to encourage wise health and nutrition choices by children and adults in the community. [20]
