Wild Child Workshop creates 100% natural playspaces that engage kids with nature and spark imaginative exploration. From customized nature play features at premier destinations like the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC, to large-scale installations for national and regional child care centers, we design and ship custom play elements nationwide.

Engineered for Safety and Compliance

While we celebrate the incredible raw durability of native, chemical-free locust wood, safety and compliance are our highest priorities. To ensure our play spaces are built to strict engineering codes and precisely match the rigorous requirements of stamped architectural plans, we utilize a thoughtful blend of high-performance materials:

• Premium Locust Wood: Used where its natural resistance to rot, insects, and harsh weather shines brightest.

• Commercial Pressure-Treated Lumber: Integrated strategically to meet exact engineering load requirements and structural building codes.

• Eco-Treated Oak: We utilize beautiful, durable oak treated with a mineral-based "Eco" preservative. This non-toxic, eco-safe treatment penetrates deep into the wood fibers, permanently bonding with the natural tannins to harden and protect the wood against fungal decay and weathering. It provides lifetime protection, leaves zero harmful chemical residues in the soil, and ages into a beautiful, high-end silvery patina that is 100% safe for kids and the planet.

Whether you are designing a neighborhood nature trail or a large corporate child care facility, we bring authentic, compliant, and beautifully crafted elements of the wild directly to your site.
