PlayEngland ReportPlay structures such as pole- climbers and net climbers are an ideal focus to any park play area. Den-like structures are popular for creating “chill-out” zones. Safe flooring such as wetpour and rubber mulch are often used.
Net climbers and pole-climbers are popular structures in these playgrounds. They require the children to decide the route or activity. Playground safety standards ensure: the playground surface helps cushion falls; there is sufficient distance between structures.
Play Towers and Trim Trails are currently on trend. They create the wow factor in any children’s outdoor play space.
Adventure play parks are generally bigger. They are designed for families giving a more inter-generational focus.
