LARS LAJ® | From idea to playground - how the new playground at the SIS international school in Poland, was created.

From idea to playground - how the new playground at the SIS international school in Poland, was created.

Until recently, the space in front of the school was an ordinary, not very attractive area with a few pieces of equipment that no longer met the needs of the students. It lacked a coherent concept, a distinct character, and a place that would inspire children to play together.

New playground

The management of International School set us a goal: to design a playground that would be safe, inclusive, and visually unique. An important point was to combine two zones—for preschoolers and older primary school students - in such a way as to create a single, shared space where everyone could find something for themselves.


New playground


During the design stage, the idea for the main theme of the surface was born - an octopus. The theme was developed with a three-dimensional head that “looks” at the children as they play. This gave the playground a unique, fairy-tale, and maritime atmosphere.


New playground

The entire process was the result of close cooperation with the school management and teachers. We met in small groups to discuss the details - from the layout of the zones to the functions of individual pieces of equipment. The installation was carried out during the summer holidays so that on September 1, the students could start the new school year with a new playground.

The new design stands out thanks to several key elements:

- A water theme and the colors of the city, from a consistent language for the entire project.

- An old tree integrated as a natural relaxation zone, with a round bench.

- Integration equipment: bird's nests, a group rocker, table football, modular sets, hopscotch, and Twister playset.

Before: a plain, uninspiring space, not fully utilized by students. After: a colorful, marine-themed playground, full of integration equipment and creative details, with an even and safe surface, which has become the natural center of school life.

Opening SIS


The grand opening of the playground took place on September 1, 2025. From the very first moments, the new space was filled with the laughter and energy of students from all over the world.
