Studio Ludo is a 501(c)3 non-profit founded in 2015 whose mission is building better play through research, design and advocacy. Our team has over 15 years of design experience and is certified in playground safety. Our work is focused in three areas. We initiate, collect and publish research on the impacts of play environments on physical activity and social behaviors in children and caregivers. We offer design assistance and code compliance to help craft remarkable places to play. We advocate at conferences, through social media and with our “State of Play” events for better play spaces for all ages. We believe that everyone deserves a great place to play; that playgrounds need not cost a million dollars; and that behind every good design decision should be even better science.
