Why Choose Wooden Outdoor Playground Equipment?
Discover how KOMPAN's wooden outdoor playground equipment benefits children and how you can integrate your green space surroundings into an innovative playground design with the help of KOMPAN's play experts. Our solutions help children stay active, have fun and connect with nature.
Playgrounds Designed to Enhance Cognitive & Physical Development
Nature-based playgrounds inspire children to explore the unfamiliar, such as the varied textures of natural materials, offering numerous benefits. Wooden equipment fosters a positive connection with nature through hands-on interaction with wood, soil and other organic surfaces. This experience encourages children to step outside their comfort zones, engaging with new textures and objects that support their growth. Such exploration not only enriches development but also fosters positive habits, boosts academic achievement and instils lifelong behaviours.
Wood’s natural versatility makes it an outstanding choice for playground equipment, and KOMPAN’s diverse product range caters to a wide variety of physical activity needs, from obstacle courses and springers to natural playground climbers and wooden swing sets.

Frequently asked questions
Overview of Robinia Hardwood
Robinia is the tree that gives everything. From replenishing the soil with nitrogen, to burning like coal, providing the source for exceptional honey, to being one of the most dense and versatile timbers. It is also a sustainable source. A native of eastern USA, where it is called black locust, it was introduced to Europe by the king of France’s gardener in 1602. That tree still stands in Square Viviani in central Paris. The tree can now be found growing around the world. In Europe, it is most prolific in Germany, Romania and the Czech Republic. It is the wood of choice for KOMPAN because it brings strength, durability and individuality to each design.
Key facts:
Organic, environmentally friendly and can be FSC certified
Naturally occurring preservatives make it resistant to rot, humidity and water
Low levels of fabrication give posts natural winding curves and bends
Native European wood that is naturally strong and durable
Which lasts longer, man-made or natural materials?
The answer in KOMPAN terms is neither – with proper care they both should last a playing ‘lifetime’. Robinia wood has a 15-year warranty. If there is one difference the man-made Ecocore™ has a lifetime guarantee, it looks as good on day one as day 10,000, wood on the other hand matures and can often seem more welcoming with age.
