Playground Designs
To help give you a better understanding of how to go about identifying the desired playground attributes for your school, School Daz, Inc. has included a selection of our favorite playgrounds.
These playground designs can be modified and customized to suit almost any space.
Each playground satisfies all of the five fitness elements:
- Balance
- Cardiovascular Health
- Dexterity
- Hand-Eye Coordination
- Large Muscle Group Development
Almost every part of the playground works to develop one or more of the five fitness elements. The icons simply highlight some of various benefits to each design.
Have a look through some or all of the 28 playground design illustrations. You will notice there is a pattern to the layouts. The more dynamic play components tend to be placed on the perimeter while the more sedate play components (climbers, slides, bridges and under the deck components) are set to the side. This encourages flow and reduces bottlenecks in the dynamic overhead playground components but preserves the social aspect of contained play. It is possible that one or more of the play designs will catch your eye. If so, take note and mention them when filling out the design brief.
And finally, when filling out your design brief, please take the time to visit our playground component area. There may be specific playground components that you would like included in your design or conversely, some that you would rather be excluded. Please note these in the bottom section of the design brief for our designers to use as a guide when completing your initial design.
