Playgrounds must innovate in order to keep the train of fun going. While the classic play equipment such as the slide, crawl tunnel, the ball pit and others will remain a fixture, there must be an infusion of new play equipment to revitalise the playground experience. New play equipment and old play equipment in the space makes up for new ways of play.
Today, indoor commercial playgrounds have evolve to include inclusive play equipment for all-access play and audio & visual electronics to enhance the sensory play of children. When you are thinking of adding new features to the playground, here are some new ideas to get you started.
Inclusive Playgrounds
The concept of inclusive playgrounds have become more popular over the years. What started as an innovative approach on enabling play for all physical capabilities, inclusive playgrounds and its concept have made its way to Europe, Asia and other parts of the globe.
Inclusive play are new play equipment that are designed to let all children experience the joy of playgrounds despite their physical disabilities. Adding these new play equipment will make for a kinder, more inclusive and more welcoming playground for all.
Audio Visual Play
New forms of play equipment are sensory equipped to cater to the sight, feel, sense and sound of the play experience. These play equipment features visuals to direct interaction and uses sensors to achieve those gameplay objectives. This may deviate from the physically propelled play, but Audi-Visual-Sensory play are driven by reaction and intuition. Think of it as exercise for the children’s senses and intuition.
Indoor and Outdoor Play Combined
Over the years, play equipment operators have blended together indoor and outdoor play. The result is an activity park that features both areas where children can play indoors and play outdoors. This combined experience allow children to build up their social confidence and refine their sense of adventure.
Play parks that feature both indoor and outdoor playgrounds often feature wide and spacious indoor play complete with Audio-Visual machines while the outdoors are themed around nature and adventure where classic play equipment such as swings, sandboxes, courts and rest areas are located.
