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.

Ask any kid what their favorite subject is and most will declare, “Recess!” Today’s schools don’t just teach the ABCs and 123s. They also prepare students for a successful adult life.

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.

Designing a custom playground for your community can be both exciting and overwhelming. With many different types of playground equipment and a wide span of ages to cater to, you may be tempted to include a little bit of everything.

When designing a playground, our attention tends to be focused on the fun things - slides, swings, rope netting, ziplines, etc. However, it’s the little things that make parks functional and practical for everyday families.

Designing a custom playground is an exciting, rewarding experience. You get to choose the equipment that matches your community’s needs while creating a safe space for children of all ages and abilities to play.
