(ST. AUGUSTINE, FL) – Hines, the international real estate firm, revealed that KOMPAN, an innovative play equipment company out of Denmark, will be constructing the unique playground equipment for Hines’ new signature development Markland, located in St.Augustine.
KOMPAN has been world leader in the development of children’s play equipment for over 40 years. Their corporate philosophy is based on three core pillars: Health, Learning and Environment. The addition of the Explorer Dome to Markland will be the first location in St. Johns County for KOMPAN’s flagship playground.
“The Explorer Dome playground equipment is a dynamic play piece designed to challenge children’s motor skills, train their balance, and stretch their bodies in movement adventures. The playground is designed to bring kids together in active social play benefiting both their physical and mental health,” says Helle Burlingame, psychologist and manager of the KOMPAN Play Institute.
The KOMPAN playground is just one of many popular amenities in the family-friendly master-planned neighborhood. Markland residents have a wealth of daily activities from which to choose, and amenities include the community’s zero-entry luxury pool, tennis courts, aerobic/yoga/spinning studio, lakeside fire pit, 30 acres lakes, and numerous pocket parks located a short walk from every home.
