Play Systems

Benefits of Our Playground Sets 

"How does it support a child's development?" Of all the questions about playgrounds and the value of time spent on them, this one is the most pertinent. Play may appear to be an innocent pastime, but it holds a crucial importance. From motor skills to communication, lessons on empathy to personal achievement, "child's play" is anything but trivial!  

A large playground system brings play value by catering to the appropriate cognitive, social-emotional, creative, and physical benefits for the intended age group.

Your Dream Playground Is Already Configured 

All Play Systems are designed with a modular building block platform, allowing you to add, alter and remove various play elements to accommodate your setting, intended user group and budget.There are several advantages when choosing a preconfigured playground set over freestanding playground equipment. Preconfigured playground systems have many play activities on a single structure – guaranteeing all children will be entertained. Play systems and their playground equipment have fewer repairs and lower maintenance needs than freestanding playground equipment, as its configuration is sturdier. Also, installation for a commercial playground set is easier. You'll have one build, rather than a handful of steps for assorted playground equipment. When opting for a commercial playground set, safety and spacing is guaranteed, like ensuring slides are appropriately distanced to American safety standards. Compact and compliant, playground sets are great for limited spaces. Preconfigured play systems are built to meet industry standards and are certified for safety, making repairs and replacements simple.

How to Choose the Right Playground Set 

KOMPAN offers various playground systems to suit any setting, customer, user demographic and budget. Each range is manufactured with a combination of play elements, values, and materials to cater to a specific theme, user group or aesthetic. Here's what you should consider when choosing the right commercial playground set for your project. 

Age-group 

Who is using the equipment? Different age groups have different needs in play and development, so it's important to define your intended audience.  

Inclusivity 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) can enforce it, and KOMPAN full-heartedly agrees with it: a truly inclusive playground lives up to its name only when it creates an accessible, engaging world for all children, regardless of their abilities. Include relevant elevated play activities that are made accessible by a ramp, or ground level activities with thrills, like speed or the feeling of getting lost. Consider a playground system with sensory and tactile play variations, along with options for solitary play and social play and play from all sides.

Playground area 

We mentioned how great a commercial play system can be for tight spaces, but always have the specific size of your designated play area in mind. We can help you decide on the best commercial play system for your area with an on-site consultation or discovery call. 

Purpose 

Playground sets have a recommended play capacity, or how many children can be on the structure simultaneously. Schools typically need playground equipment with a high play capacity. Also, you'll need to decide if the playground system is for the younger or older students.  

Budget 

A simple consultation with a play consultant will only bring great benefits to your playground project. We love hearing our customers' brilliant ideas and turning them into reality.
