Did you know that a playground’s layout influences how children play, create, imagine and socialize? Most playgrounds are consciously designed to be safe, enriching learning environments.
What’s better than a colorful playground filled with slides, tunnels and climbers? A playground that follows a fun theme!
Spending time at the park is a wonderful way to get the kids outdoors for fresh air and sunshine. Best of all, kids tire themselves out so they sleep better at night. But being at the park also means there’s a chance for scrapes, bumps and bruises.
