Properly designing, preparing, and constructing playgrounds is a challenge to provide users with a fun, stimulating, yet safe and optimally utilized play space! That's why when planning a children's playground and selecting equipment, it's crucial to consider:
When selecting playground equipment, it is necessary to consider the total area and choose equipment that, together with its safety zone, can provide safe and uninterrupted play in the designated space.
2. The safety zone and the maximum possible fall height determine the thickness and area of the antistress rubber surfacing installation. It is important to specify the playground surface in advance. The choice of surfacing affects the earthworks and preparatory works for the playground, as well as the equipment's structure with regard to the foundation method for the equipment's load-bearing elements and other preparatory tasks.
3. It is necessary to prepare a user sociogram, i.e., to analyze potential users by age group. This will allow for the best selection of equipment with tailored play value. Some pieces of equipment are suitable for the youngest children (nursery), others are intended for older children (preschool), and still others for schoolchildren/teenagers.
4. Certain pieces of equipment are intended for individual users, while others are for a group of children. The expected number of users on the playground also provides guidelines for selecting and positioning equipment. This design approach allows for a wide range of children's activities, which, with diverse equipment of varying play value, positively impacts cognitive and
children's motor skills (swinging, climbing, descending, crawling, balancing, moving, didactic games, communication, etc.).
5. The investment budget and the project's implementation timeline also influence the choice of equipment. Standard equipment can be delivered and installed quickly, whereas custom-designed equipment tailored to the investor's vision requires longer preparation.
6. The specified parameters and applicable safety standards provide guidelines for the design and construction of a safe playground. Flex Invest can assist you with its knowledge and experience in designing and constructing playgrounds. The design process involves defining the type and dimensions of equipment based on the boundaries of the playground, their placement within the space, and specifying safety zones and maneuvering areas, all with the goal of providing a variety of activities and play opportunities. The main task is to create a playground that meets the needs of different target user groups and ensures a safe outdoor environment for children.
7. After defining the playground equipment, we proceed to prepare the technical specifications and/or documentation, which we will provide to you so you can carry out the construction preparation before installing the equipment. A site visit will certainly be organized, and our experts will communicate with the investor and the construction contractors to ensure the project's implementation proceeds smoothly and within the scheduled timeframe.
