Solutions backed by research
Creating world-class playgrounds requires understanding what motivates children to play, stay and return and designing spaces that encourage physical, social-emotional, and cognitive-creative development.
Our doctoral research work at the KOMPAN Play Institute, KOMPAN Fitness Institute, and collaborations with the World Playground Research Institute include children in testing, ensuring playgrounds support development and active, skillful growth. Our research teams have also studied children's play in school settings to publish insights on the best designs to support the specific outcomes needed for happy, healthy and well-educated students.
