The Big Green in Saratoga Springs (Utah) is an 18,000+ square foot facility that redefines the concept of an indoor playground, focusing on bringing back the idea of a "community backyard." Designed specifically for children under 12, the space places an equal emphasis on parent comfort, setting it apart from typical trampoline parks or loud, overstimulating entertainment centers.
The interior mimics a natural, green environment that encourages unstructured "free play"—a welcome antidote to today’s screen-heavy world. The designers made sure that caregivers aren't just passive observers; they created high-quality coworking and cafe spaces that encourage staying a little longer. The entire project is rooted in a philosophy of building connections and steering children away from digital devices toward physical activity in an aesthetic, safe setting.
