Steve King, Chairman of Landscape Structures Incorporated, for a presentation entitled, "The Design & Development of Modern Playgrounds". Topics will include playground design, managing the risks associated with public playgrounds and new materials that are becoming available for use on playgrounds.

Steve King is a landscape architect and ASLA Fellow. He first developed the concept of "continuous play" as a college thesis more than thirty years ago. He correctly reasoned that by linking many play elements into a single structure one could improve the nature of play and child development.
