With 10’s of thousands of play and park space installations throughout the world, the MAKR Group have helped provide millions of people, from all walks of life, of all ages, and with diverse abilities, with access to amazing, inviting, playable, enjoyable, “go-backable” recreation places. What makes us jump out of bed every morning is knowing we’re integral to creating these meaningful places, and we need people like you to help us build them.
