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.
Commercial playgrounds provide a wide, open space for kids to run and play. But with today’s versatile selection of outdoor fitness equipment, community parks are being transformed into more than a child’s play place.
Community playgrounds offer a multitude of benefits aside from giving kids a place to play. They are the heart of a community - the place where friendships are built and memories are made.
Sun exposure is a main consideration for any public or commercial park. Whether you’re building a new park or looking to update your current play area, you’ll want to think about how comfortable this space is for children and their families.
Creating a commercial playground is a big job, so it helps to have a checklist on hand at all times. This way, it’s easier to stay on track with your goals, follow safety guidelines and ensure inclusive playground equipment.
Dog parks provide benefits to dog owners, their pets and the community at large. These friendly spaces encourage social interaction and provide a clean, safe space where dogs can get exercise off the leash. Dog parks are especially beneficial in urban areas where not everyone has a large, fenced-in backyard.
Playgrounds are incredibly important to the childhood experience. Walk or drive past any outdoor playground and you’re bound to see the biggest smiles and hear the loudest laughter. Outdoor play areas are where the magic happens for kids, whether it’s mastering the monkey bars or climbing to the top of a half-moon climber.
Healing Communities Through Play™ is a national campaign with the hope of rebuilding community trust and relations between local residents and law enforcement through the common goal of building a playground together.
