Landscape Architecture Professor’s Design for MAPS 3 Lower Park Playground Featured in The Oklahoman

Landscape Architecture Assistant Professor Dr. Sarah Little and a team of Landscape Architecture graduate assistants spent the Spring 2017 semester researching the experiences of children living with autism, mobility limitations, and vision and hearing impairments to understand how to create an inclusive play environment that is seamless and integrated instead of separate and ‘other.’ Dr. Little applied this research to create the design of an accessible nature play and learning area for the MAPS 3 Lower Park. Her design was recently featured in The Oklahoman.
