Playground Equipment

Playground equipment is manufactured for the entertainment, education and fitness of children of all ages. Manufacturers supply playground equipment to schools, local councils, residences, family restaurants, gymnasiums, community centres, playgrounds and more.

Popular playground equipment such as swings, slides, monkey bars, see-saws and cubby houses have been providing recreation and enjoyment for children for many years but increased awareness of the health and wellbeing of children has meant that contemporary playground equipment is designed to promote education and fitness and have interactive learning benefits for children.

Playground equipment for residential use can be purchased at larger retail outlets as well as materials such as timber, rope or metal piping to make your own playground equipment and playhouses. More complex play units can be purchased from specialist suppliers. These are manufactured to strictly regulated safety codes to minimise risk and associated liability for the owner or custodian. In addition to the playground equipment, most suppliers of commercial and domestic playground equipment can recommend best-practice safety precautions such as ground cushioning via the placement of bark chips, mulch or grasses and other natural or artificial products. Typically, playground equipment is built for outdoor use and is therefore manufactured from strong, durable material suitable for all weather conditions.
