Themed playgrounds combine physical and mental stimulation to keep kids active in different ways. They’re also plenty of fun to look at!
Inclusive outdoor recreation spaces provide a safe place where kids of all ages and abilities can play and interact together. These spaces don’t just take the physical needs of children into consideration, but also their social, emotional and cognitive needs.
Sensory play refers to any activity that stimulates a young child’s senses: touch, taste, smell, sight or sound, as well as movement and balance.
Without safety surfacing, serious head and bodily injuries would occur on your playground. Surfacing materials like rubber mulch and engineered wood fiber help absorb the shock from slips and falls.
Playground safety surfacing creates spaces where kids can run and play without getting hurt. This surface lies underneath and around playground structures, swings, slides, climbers and other equipment to protect kids if they fall.
When a playground is first built, everything is new and tip top condition. But this doesn’t last for long when kids and families start playing at the park daily. This is why you want to choose safety surfacing that offers long term durability.
Dog parks are surging in popularity. Since 2007, these pet-friendly parks have grown by 89 percent. Nearly every major city in the U.S. now has at least one dog park.

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.
Playgrounds have always been an important escape for kids, but this couldn’t be more true during a pandemic. Many kids across the country are still at home e-learning, which means they’re spending more time cooped up indoors and less time with their peers.
