Ranken Jordan Therapy Play Garden

SWT Design is proud to be part of the creation of Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital's Therapy Play Garden. This vibrant, inclusive, and nature-inspired space reinforces the hospital's Vision of "Care Beyond the Bedside" model of care.

The Therapy Play Garden includes innovative features like an accessible turf ball field, a six-hole putting green, and an outdoor nurses' station, ensuring a safe environment for children with diverse medical needs. The garden unfolds as a series of "therapy zones" with inclusive play equipment, sensory gardens, and nature wonders. From stamped animal tracks to wheelchair-accessible tunnels, the garden offers diverse pathways for children to explore and discover new abilities.

Stimulating the Senses, the garden boasts carefully selected native and ornamental flora, creating a sensory-rich environment aligned with Ranken Jordan's holistic approach to healing. Whimsical trees, like the Contorted Filbert and Grinch-like weeping Norway Spruce, add a touch of magic. SWT Design's attention to detail, collaborative approach with stakeholders, and commitment to the hospital's mission resulted in a Therapy Play Garden that is a testament to comprehensive care, fostering healing through nature, play, and therapeutic elements. The garden symbolizes hope, strength, and brighter futures for Ranken Jordan's young patients.
