Planning Ideas
Plan to purchase a resilient material for under your system
Consult the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission Handbook for Public Playground Safety to determine which surface material will work best under your play system. (See our Rainbow Turf Products)
Include a variety of play events
A variety of physical, social and cognitive events will keep kids interested longer and help them develop a full range of skills. Careful selection of components enables your play system to serve a range of ages and abilities simultaneously. (See Playgrounds)
Plan for an adequate number of events
Each play system pictured in the catalog lists a corresponding "kid capacity" to help you in the planning process. We can suggest the optimum number of play events for your size group.
Plan for future development
Are you planning to develop your play area over several years? Modular play systems are easy to expand. We can help you plan a playground design that expands over time. Will your park serve primarily young homeowners with small children? Consider buying a Genesis system today, and make plans to build a Series 2000 system a few years down the road.
