You form a committee... assign tasks... do your research... choose a supplier and then purchase your playground equipment. Many may feel that is the end of the process. However, that is only the beginning!
In our industry, experts recommend doing your playground “spring cleaning” BEFORE spring. In fact, now is the perfect time to review your equipment, add new accessories or make upgrades to your existing playground. No matter the age, location or size of your current (or potential) playground, there are some general things to think about this time of year. We outline a few of those topics below.
One of the first steps when building a playground is to review and define your objectives. Is the goal to promote physical activity for students at a school? Enhance a neighborhood park to appeal to families and residents? Create a destination playground that brings people together?
If one of your main goals is to create a gathering place that gets people talking, brings them together and keeps them coming back you’ll want a playground that stands out. Something different than every other park out there. Something that honors your community or enhances nearby elements. Perhaps a theme playground is in order.Topics: Theme Playgrounds Miracle Recreation Custom Playground
