Making Way for Learning Through Play
PRESCHOOL & LOWER SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS
2023–2024
Designed with a focus on innovative play, the renovated Preschool and Lower School playgrounds meet the physical needs of all our students while fostering an environment that develops important social skills. These renovations were made possible due to philanthropic gifts to the Durham Academy Fund and revenue from our Durham Academy Summer program. The reimagined Lower School playground opened in fall 2023, and the new Preschool playground opened in fall 2024.
My favorite part of the new playground is the slide — it's fun, fast, and the whole playground is so much better!
