A configuration
of components to plan a play structure
that will create a wonderful informal
learning environment for our kids. Playsystem
designs should include challenging, physical,
and social play components which keep
in mind the age and abilities of the children
in your community. Romperland provides
2D and 3D views of your design.
What
do I need to consider in choosing a site?
Drainage,
underground and overhead utilities, shade,
and accessibility to the playground area
are important to consider before you start
planning. Other considerations such as
the number of children the playground
will service and level of accessibility
should be considered when choosing your
site. Consultation with municipal planners
may provide other required guidelines
to follow.
How
do I choose play components for my playground?
It is
important to think about what age group
will be using the playground. Romperland
has grouped play components into two age
groups - Ages 2 to 5, and Ages 5-12. Playsystems
can also be designed for ages 2-12 years.
With this in mind, our play consultants
will help you develop a play area design
that will provide as many opportunities
for play as possible within your budget.
What
about our children with special needs?
Romperland
Playsystems can be configured to include
accessible ramps and ground-level transfer
stations which will allow children of
all abilities to access the playsystem.
Other suitable components as well as accessible
safety surfacing can be incorporated into
your play space design. This provides
all children with the same opportunities
to engage in safe, social, and challenging
play.
What
are the hidden costs involved in building
a play area?
Other
costs to consider are site preparation,
safety surfacing, borders, and installation
of your equipment. It is also important
to provide an area for parents, grandparents,
and care givers to view and supervise
children. Park benches and picnic tables
are essential.
