Imaginative, brightly coloured playground equipment is a definite favourite amongst children. It’s somewhere they can really explore their imagination.

Children can get bored easily, so a versatile playground is a must. They need somewhere they can explore in a number of different ways over and over again.

Our tree towers, for example, feature a deck wrapped around a tree with a network of bridges connecting different decks and climbing activities. These can incorporate several other activities including slides, nets and swings, creating endless fun in one space.

But it’s not just fun slides, challenging climbing frames and big basket swings that capture attention.

Outdoor musical instruments, for example, encourage engagement. Whether you choose to use these during music lessons, or just allow children to let their energy out on a tin drum at playtime, outdoor musical instruments are guaranteed to be a firm favourite in any playground.

Although most commonly found in public parks, playground equipment is actually a great way to encourage learning and development within children.

Because playgrounds are interactive spaces, designed with children in mind, they’re often found in educational settings such as schools and nurseries.

The equipment found in these settings tends to incorporate various elements to encourage exploration within children. These elements require children to climb up ladders, swing on swings and climb through tunnels, therefore developing their motor skills.

Playground equipment can also be found in community centres.

Because of the varying ages that frequent community centres, the equipment found within these environments tends to cater for a wider age range.
