How to make a School playground stimulating and exciting

I can remember the School playground I used to run around in when I was in junior school. It was a large sprawling area of concrete, there were no colourful features, no play equipment and nothing to keep myself and my classmates amused. A quick playground inspection would reveal nothing of merit, you’d find boys playing football, girls skipping with ropes, the odd game of conkers or marbles taking place and that was about as exciting as it got in the School playground of old.

Today though, a School playground can be far more adventurous when fitted with a range of fun activities that are designed to keep kids entertained. What’s more the modern School playground encourages key development skills whilst supporting safety aspects at all times.

What does a School playground need?

If you were to conduct a playground inspection at your learning establishment how could you improve the facilities in the School playground? With a little imagination and plenty of forethought it’s easy to transform a humdrum School playground into a play-zone that’s bright, colourful and engaging.

Dedicated items of equipment could be used inside the School playground, climbing frames, walkways, slides and stimulating features all help to promote fitness whilst developing social and interactive behaviour at the same time. Think about markings in the School playground and how they can be used as inexpensive but effective learning aids, especially when they are puzzle trails or number boards.

A School playground should be a hive of excitement come playtime, filled with a range of innovative and exciting features that children find a delight to use.

Find out what you need by having a playground inspection

To create the ultimate School playground a consultation with experts in the play industry is a must.

Ideally your School playground should be as interactive as possible and it should provide the children with hours of pleasure. So ask playground consultants to design a bespoke scheme that’ll inject the fun factor into your outdoor environment.
