This was Oberlander's first solo project which she worked on from 1951 to 1954, while still working for Oscar Stonorov. The playground opened in September 1954. The northeast section of the playground was dedicated to adults and older children, with places to sit and spaces for basketball, badminton, bocce and, a horseshoe pit. The southeast quarter was dedicated to smaller children, with play sculptures, water play and, a sand pit. The project series contains design development drawings, such as landscape plans and site plans with details, working drawings and technical drawings. It also comprises a presentation panel showing the completed playground and the play sculptures, and photographs of the playground. The project is also documented through textual records, such as a folder of correspondence, a project submission, press clippings and copies of articles on the play area. Source: Herrington, Susan.

Description:
- This drawing was traced from the plans similar to the photomechanical prints, DR1989:0015:049 - DR1989:0015:050, which are dated December 1925. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.
