As children grow they often spend less time outdoors and more time indoors on screens and to try change this it is important for to provide spaces that teens can enjoy and visit. Our Galaxy™ range of equipment is challenging and suitable for older children which will encourage and motivate teens to use and enjoy it - while also benefiting from being outdoors, being more active and social.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some changes are possible and this range of equipment is flexible in its configuration and some colour changes are possible. Our sales or design team can advise on what is possible and can be contacted in our Galway office.
2. Are they inclusive?
Yes, inclusivity is at the core of what we do so naturally, these playground systems also come with inclusive options. There is no denying that the structure is aimed at adventurous tweens and teens who are drawn to climbing its ridges and slopes, but the underside is designed to include wheelchair users in the play.
3. Will doesn't the Galaxy structure rust?
The secret lies in top quality steel that is hot dip galvanised and then given a powdered coating (if coloured)
