As we wrap up another year, it’s always fun to look back and see how things have changed and look forward to new merging trends. And playground equipment is no exception.
When planning and building a playground for public use, it’s important to cover all of your bases. Playgrounds should be fun and safe, and they should also accommodate a wide range of ages and abilities.
Park playgrounds and sports fields are an important part of any community. They are the places where kids gather to play and explore, compete and build confidence while parents are able to meet others and socialize.
A common challenge for communities is how to keep their parks and playgrounds fun and entertaining for all ages. After all, there are only so many things to do at a given park. Fortunately, playground companies like Cunningham Recreation continue to offer new and innovative equipment to keep parks interesting.
There are plenty of great reasons to choose a custom playground design, even though they tend to be more of an investment. As with other products, selecting a custom design gives you the freedom to pick and choose exactly what you want.
When people think of parks and playgrounds, they generally consider the benefits for their own community.
The National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs reports that nearly 1 in 5 children ages 12-17 have special healthcare needs. However, few playgrounds accommodate these special needs. As a result, children with disabilities often end up playing alone or staying at home.
Are you designing a new commercial playground for an HOA, school, church or other organization? If so, you’ll quickly discover that there’s more to designing a great park than buying equipment.
