Meet One of the Designers Behind the Play!

For our latest MWP Recreation Employee Spotlight, we’re getting to know one of our talented Land Designers!

One of his favorite parts of the job is seeing a playground go from a design on a screen to a space filled with kids and families.

A favorite project? Hansen Park in New Brighton, one of the largest playgrounds he’s helped design and a space filled with inclusive play opportunities.

He attended the grand opening and watched hundreds of people enjoying his design—but his favorite feedback may have come later from his four-year-old niece.

When he asked what her favorite part of the playground was, she answered: “I loved everything!” ❤

Outside of designing playgrounds, he stays busy playing flag football, attending concerts, building LEGO sets, watching F1 races and enjoying pro wrestling.

We’re grateful for the talented people behind our projects who help create places where kids can play, grow, make friends and create memories.

Get outside. Get active. Get connected. 🌳🏃‍♀️

Recreation and active play help build stronger bodies, healthier habits, and more connected communities. Whether it's exploring a trail, enjoying a local park, participating in sports, or simply spending time outdoors, every opportunity to move supports lifelong well-being.
