This guide is for those in charge of schools, municipalities, and any other place intended for the public.

Always striving to offer solutions adapted to society's evolving needs, Jambette – in collaboration with André Thibault, Professor Emeritus at UQTR - Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and founder of the Observatoire québécois du loisir – shares its observations, insights, and approaches to development regarding outdoor recreational spaces, play, and leisure activities in public spaces. Discover our constantly evolving field each month.

Girls aged 12 to 17 are still underrepresented in public parks. They find few spaces adapted to their needs or their way of using the area. As a result, they feel less at home and visit them less often. With O-Asis, Jambette offers an innovative solution to give them their space back.

A practical approach for more inclusive and better shared parks.

At Jambette, sustainable development is more than just an intention: it's a responsibility, one that’s at the heart of everything we do.
With the IMPACT program, we structure our commitment around three essential pillars, the ESG criteria, to build a more sustainable, humane, and responsible future.

What if everyday annoyances became the best catalysts for progress?
This is the challenge tackled by the Design and Sales teams at Jambette by embarking on a collaborative Kaizen initiative. Together, they took the time to pause, observe, and frankly state the challenges they faced daily: vague requests, scattered tools, sometimes unclear roles, and fragmented communication.
Rather than work around these problems, they chose to transform them.

At Jambette, designing a play structure isn't only about putting materials together. It's about dreaming up an adventure, structuring an experience... and transforming an idea into a space where children can move, daydream, and grow.

Planning a new park layout is a motivating project. Whether it is for a municipality, a school, or a daycare centre, the goal is always the same: to create a safe and stimulating space that brings the community together. However, many projects exceed their initial budget, often due to a lack of information at the outset.

Good news is, it is entirely possible to optimize your investment through structured planning.
