Our playground designs always begin by using children’s ideas. That can be a challenge, considering that designers need to balance creative playground design, with strict safety guidelines. Over the years, we have pushed the envelope right to the very edge – creating exciting playgrounds that encourage large muscle development, cooperative play and breathless, active fun.
Our philosophy is that we do children a disservice by designing playground equipment that is static and dull.
Today, researchers are agreeing with our design philosophy. Studies show that kids need risks on the playground for healthy emotional development, and helicopter parents are being urged to quit hovering – and to let their kids play.
Having recently designed a 25-foot long, two-kid wide slide on the embankment of a hill – and an 8-foot tall climbing wall to a whimsical castle – our designers couldn’t agree more.
