Ready for Action! If you look at some playgrounds, it seems many vendors are unaware that preschoolers need more than a climber and swings. At Grounds For Play, we know that not only do preschoolers need to develop physical skills, they also need the chance to play creatively, use their imaginations, explore emotions and build language through play. A Grounds For Play playground helps preschoolers develop concepts through direct experiences and builds self-esteem by giving lots of opportunities for success through a variety of skilled and complex play activities.  View Products»

Preschool Structures Preschool structures should have a variety of play options – some simple, some more challenging – to give preschoolers an opportunity to discover their own abilities through developmentally appropriate choices. Proper deck heights provide safety and challenge, plus create cozy play spaces underneath.

Integrated Shades Grounds For Play can provide shades built right into its complex structures, without the cost of a separate shade structure.  12' x 12' shades fit on our 4' x 4', 6' x 6' and quad deck structures.  Other shapes and sizes available.

Allowing Children to Make Appropriate Choices Good preschool playground equipment optimizes the teacher’s ability to supervise play while allowing children greater freedom to make choices. Making appropriate choices within a properly structured environment leads children to achieve greater successes, thereby enhancing self-esteem.

Designing Around Nature Grounds For Play does not recommend installation around an existing tree due to possible severe root damage, which could result in the death of the tree. Grounds For Play recommends planting a new tree (not included) along with the installation of the structure. Find preschool playground equipment that incorporates the beauty of nature. Use zone area required for the example shown: 27' x 30'

Note: The Public Playground Safety Handbook divides children into 3 age groups: 6 months through 23 months, 2 through 5 years of age, and 5 through 12 years of age.
