Designing holistic playgrounds with eibe Play

Playgrounds are at the heart of the community, allowing families to have fun, exercise and to socialise.

eibe Play has over 50 years of experience in designing and installing timber playgrounds and we would love to share some top tips to create a holistic play area that serves your whole community:

  1. Designing With Play Values – When selecting equipment think about its play value. The core ones are swinging, sliding, spinning, rocking, climbing and sensory play. There are many more but we believe if your play area offers these experiences then it will sufficiently serve your community.
  2. Age-Appropriate Design – Selecting equipment that offers a wide range of challenges will allow a range of age groups to benefit from the space e.g. Using both an easy toddler playhouse and a more challenging junior playhouse.
  3. Social Spaces – Creating seating areas for parents/carers to relax is important. One key factor is that these spaces should have a clear line of sight to the play area for keeping an eye on their children and importantly, so they can also see you.
