About Us
Our mission is to create third places for play, connection and community; designing shared experiences that invite a deeper sense of belonging.
Play is more than fun—it’s how we build stronger communities, support healthy childhood development and create spaces where people of all ages and abilities can come together and thrive.
At Third Place Design, we partner with landscape architects, councils and communities to create iconic, playful and purposeful third places; public recreational spaces that inspire connection, curiosity and belonging. Our design approach is rooted in deep collaboration and imaginative thinking, balancing bold creative expression with real-world outcomes and intergenerational impact.
Design Experts
Backed by over 100 years of combined experience, our team of specialists designs and delivers custom play environments and nature-inspired interventions that go beyond the expected—creating meaningful, memorable third places for all.
Inclusive Spaces
Alongside our collaborators, we redefine play in the public realm and craft inclusive spaces that blur the boundaries between art, landscape and recreation. Through design excellence and a deep focus on community needs, we shape places that celebrate people, foster social connection and create the kind of everyday magic that only a true third place can offer.
