The Hyattsville Elementary School playground recently got a fun new look thanks to a local architecture firm and a few hundred dollars worth of paint.

Grimm + Parker, the firm that designed the new Hyattsville library that’s currently under construction, sent 25 volunteers as part of a regular day of service who worked with others from the Parent-Teacher Association, Prince George’s County public schools and local summer camps.

The group used paint to add a number of fun markers to the blacktop playground, including a clock, hopscotch, a chalkboard wall, a compass rose, a map of the United States and a pretend stage, among other things.

Other than the map, all of the designs were made with laser-cut stencils created by Kat Schooley, an environment planner with Grimm + Parker and a member of the school’s PTA.

Teachers at the school suggested many of the designs through a survey be done by the PTA.

“They helped us to understand how kids and teachers used the space, what the challenges were, and also contributed ideas on programming and the types of activities they thought would add to the space and even help extend learning outside of the classroom,” Schooley told the Hyattsville Wire.

The entire project cost very little, with the architecture firm donating $500 and Sherwin-Williams donating some paint.
