Natural Adventure project
Seabrook Rise project by MUF architects
Lancaster City Council appointed muf architects to deliver creative consultation for an innovative new natural playground in Happy Mount Park, Morecambe. The new playground was designed in consultation with young people from local schools.
The concept of Natural Play encourages more creativity in the design of play environments combining natural elements such as trees, rocks and mini hills with other play features. Natural Play principles are supported by Play England, the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families), the DCMS (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) and CABE (the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment).

muf statement:
‘Since 1996 muf has established a reputation for pioneering and innovative projects that address the social, spatial and economic infrastructures of the public realm.

The creative process is underpinned by a capacity to establish effective client relationships that reveal and value the desires and experience of varied constituencies.
