The gaming experience in public spaces

Children love the experience of playing outside, in public places such as parks, schools, kindergartens and playgrounds, parents do not have to invest much effort in keeping their children active. Special play facilities are designed for children to play and have fun while at the same time improving physical abilities and developing thinking and motor skills.

The importance of matching age and developmental challenge

In order for children to be able to enjoy a public park that has special play facilities, the authorities are required to consult and adapt the facilities to the ages of the children playing in the public facilities. In addition, the play facilities must be planned so that they are a challenge for the children. When the children access a playground, they develop social interaction with other children in the kindergarten. The interaction can test the children’s social skills and behavior in kindergarten.
The goal in designing special play facilities is their contribution to children’s development, as well as to arouse in children a desire to return to the playground and to want to use the special facilities again.

The importance of appropriate facilities and complementary equipment

When the facilities are not adapted to children – in terms of height, challenge or structure – children may become discouraged and give up playing. Therefore, alongside the main facilities, it is important to also incorporate supplementary play equipment such as swings, carousels and climbing facilities at varying heights. Such equipment also allows parents to participate in the game with their children – especially when they have difficulty climbing the high facilities due to physical fitness, medical limitations or fear.

Social interaction through play

When playground equipment is made that is not suitable for children, they are deterred from it and do not want to approach and play in it. Supplementary playground equipment, such as swings, carousels and climbing equipment, is a perfect solution to allow combined play of adults and young people together. When children want to play with their parents but they are unable to do so, for example: climb to the edge of the facility due to low physical fitness, medical reasons, or even fear of the facility itself, supplementary play equipment will provide them with a way to play together.

In conclusion: This is how to create a quality playground

In conclusion, planning a quality playground requires broad thinking and true adaptation to the needs of children. Facilities should challenge children according to their age, and encourage social interaction through structure and design. A combination of complementary play equipment allows for shared play between children and parents, creating a diverse and enriching experience. On the other hand, unsuitable facilities may cause reluctance and harm the enjoyment of the game. A successful playground is one that activates the body, encourages connections and invites children to come back and play in it – again and again.
