When we discussed the expansion of Blanchard Park, we knew we wanted a unique play structure that highlighted our woodlands and preserve the natural state of the area. ID Sculpture heard what we were looking for and worked with us to put together an engaging and unique structure that is now sought out by families. Since installation, we have seen a 23% increase in park usage, which we directly contribute to this new, unique play structure. We couldn’t have done this project without ID Sculpture and appreciate their collaborative approach.

The Architerra Group has had to opportunity to collaborate with ID Sculpture on numerous projects over the years. Their expertise in climbing structures, creativity in design, and craftsmanship in construction makes them an invaluable partner. They have been able to meet critical deadlines and deliver structures that meet our project budgets. I highly recommend ID Sculpture for unique climbing and playground features.

We worked with ID Sculptures on two custom pieces for the Basalt River Park in Colorado. They were extremely thorough in their design collaboration, owning the process from sketch phase to installation so that it would be seamlessly integrated and successfully utilized. The Basaltic uplift misting features are a massive success among children of all ages and are the highlight of summer concert nights. The park's matching Basaltic stone climbing wall integrates into the bandshell and gives life to a structure on non-concert nights. Beautiful craftsmanship and fascinating building process!

ID Sculpture, together with their local representative Northwest Playground, helped us bring an incredible vision to life at Van Doren’s Landing Park by creating a playable interpretation of one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic landmarks, Mt. Rainier. Children can climb the ten-foot-tall mountain, including an accessible pathway, and slide down the polished concrete slides integrated into the design. We are thrilled, and so are the many fans of the new playground, that the talented artists at IDS helped us create this extraordinary play experience!

A shout out to the ID Sculpture team from Zehren and Associates! We've had the pleasure of working together since 2010 on many projects and ID Sculpture always delivers unique climbing and interactive play features that make the playgrounds we design standout, engaging, and inclusive for users of all ages. The recent climbing wall completed by ID Sculpture at the Telluride Mountain School merges the new terraced outdoor classroom and play area with the existing school building and steep topography of the site while expressing the geologic layers on the surrounding mountains. We appreciate the collaboration on another unique project in a very special place!

If you are looking for a collaborative design process with a group of creative, innovative design professionals for a one-of-a-kind children's play environment, you need to be teaming with ID Sculpture. I need the assurance that play elements will be engaging, developmentally challenging and unique so children and families have a positive and fun play experience each time they visit the playgrounds we are designing. As a landscape architect, custom design can be one of the most difficult aspects of a project. IDS provides design-build services taking ideas from paper to finished built work seamlessly. When they are on the team, I know the project will be a success for all involved, especially the kids.

Ian and Andris are the best! I do not say this lightly or without experience and consideration. For the last thirty years I and my firm, Design Concepts, have provided design for special places for all ages. Our focus was social play… for schools, parks, plazas and private gathering places. Our work required the collaboration of many minds and skillsets. IDS has so often been key. IDS is both catalyst and innovator. Their crucial vision based on practical building experience allows our designs to blossom beyond all previous expectations. I honor their skills and their artistry. I mostly applaud their team mentality. The results are self-evident in the finished products.
