Creating the Perfect Playground
Inclusive ♦ Fitness ♦ Adventure ♦ Nature ♦ Combination
Finding the right playground type means considering different play experiences, age groups and abilities that challenge kids to explore, learn and interact with each other.
Inclusive Playgrounds
Let’s All Play Together! Go beyond ADA rules that are focused on ensuring wheelchair access. Inclusive playgrounds combine different difficulty levels, challenges, and play experiences for those with and without special needs.
These playgrounds include parallel play, encouraging children of all ages and all abilities to build on their own skills and strengths while interactimg with one another.
Fitness Playgrounds
Let’s Get Moving! Promote healthy lifestyle choices, where kids can challenge themselves, compete with each other, and develop strength, balance, and agility.
Challenging physical obstacles and fitness circuits work the body, build muscle, and offer cardio workouts. It also encourages healthy competition among friends to challenge their physical fitness and work toward improving their health.
Nature & Adventure Playgrounds
Let’s Explore! Nurture kid’s curiosity, encouraging them to explore the environment and discover the world around them.
Take advantage of the natural topography, such as hills and mounds, to create a natural, imaginative playground then compliment it with innovative natural play elements – climbing walls and nets, rocks, and more – for more challenging play and adventure.
