Yalp is "play" spelled backwards. You ask, "Who is Yalp?" Yalp is the latest greatest in outdoor play. Located in the Netherlands, Yalp is a global distributor of interactive play and sports equipment founded in 2006 by Ben Admiral. Admiral asked himself some fundamental questions about traditional play, and ultimately its users--children. Children were no longer satisfied simply playing outdoors like we did years ago. Why are children so engrossed in TV, mobile phones, video games and tablets? He soon discovered it was NOT only children, but everyone. The world was changing. It is a new generation with new entertainment expectations.
What is interactive play? Interactive play is where the digital and physical worlds around us meet. In short, it is "real-life gaming." The electronic video game portion brings challenge, problem solving and a continued renewal of game options to play. The physical portion brings benefits such as exercise, social interaction, teamwork and experiencing the outdoors in a healthy manner.
Yalp "smart park" interactive play and sports equipment is suitable for outdoor and indoor environments. Just like traditional play, interactive play can be performed anywhere. Yalp designs its equipment to be durable, accessible and inclusive for people of all ages and abilities. Communities can easily incorporate one or two of these products into their existing parks and/or recreational facilities to encourage families to be more active, get outdoors and live healthier life styles.
