Outdoor Play Equipment for Parks and Play Areas

Play elements, three-dimensional structures, pathways, and rubber accessories for designing parks, playgrounds, and outdoor recreational areas. The solution should be selected based on function, available dimensions, installation surface, layout of the elements, and the technical specifications of each individual product.

01 / Application

The game stems from the space project

Designing a playground involves coordinating equipment, surfaces, pathways, and open spaces. Only after defining how the playground should function is it possible to choose the elements that best fit the context and the desired layout.

The Play Area as a System

ECO-PLANET playground currently being installed, featuring colorful hills and a climbing net
Shapes, heights, colors, flooring, and open spaces must all be considered together when designing the play area.

Space

Dimensions, distances, and paths influence the arrangement of elements

Function

Play, route, boundaries, or customization each require different solutions

Installation

The substrate, fasteners, and technical specifications must be verified against the reference

Spheres, hemispheres, cylinders, mushroom-shaped elements, and other shapes can be used individually or combined to create sequences, small paths, and playful arrangements.

Shape, size, height, and color all help define the space, but the choice cannot be based solely on aesthetics. It is necessary to consider the available space, the surface on which it will rest, the installation method, and how it relates to other elements in the space.

Our outdoor play equipment products may vary in composition and features. Dimensions, materials, finishes, fastening systems, and documentation must therefore be checked in the updated product sheet for each individual item.

First, you define how the area should function. Then, you identify the products that best fit that configuration.

FUNCTION

What function should it serve?

Play, path, balance, demarcation, or integration with other elements.

SPACE

How is the area organized?

Dimensions, clearances, distances, and the relationship between elements all influence the overall layout.

INSTALLATION

On what surface will it be installed?

The substrate, flooring, and installation system must be compatible with the selected product.

02 / Usage Contexts

Where to Use Outdoor Toys and Accessories

Elements can serve different functions depending on the space and its layout. The design must therefore begin with the intended use of the area and the relationship between products, pathways, flooring, and open spaces.

These same elements can be used individually or combined to create sequences, paths, and coordinated compositions.

Available sizes, flooring, installation conditions, and intended use all influence the choice of the most suitable solution.

The contexts listed are for guidance only: intended use and technical compatibility must be confirmed in the documentation for each specific product.

PARKS

Parks and Playgrounds

Play elements and accessories for setting up areas dedicated to play and outdoor activities.

SCHOOLS

Schools and Recreational Facilities

Solutions to consider for courtyards, play areas, and spaces designated for outdoor recreational activities.

ROUTES

Playful Pathways and Compositions

Different shapes, sizes, and heights can be arranged in coordinated sequences and configurations.

INDIVIDUALS

Gardens and Private Spaces

Some solutions can also be evaluated in private settings that are compatible with the product’s intended use.

How to Choose Elements for a Play Area

The choice must be based on the intended function and the overall layout of the area. The shape, size, and position of the elements must be considered in relation to the context in which they will be placed.

After defining the layout, it is necessary to verify the subfloor, the installation system, the materials, the finishes, and the technical documentation for each specific product.

The technical specifications and instructions provided in the individual product data sheet always take precedence over the general guidelines on the application page.

FUNCTION

Function and Intended Use

Define the element’s role within the area and verify the intended use of the reference.

LAYOUT

Space and Layout

Consider the dimensions, distances, access points, and how the equipment relates to other equipment in the area.

INSTALLATION

Substrate and Adhesion

Check the installation surface, slopes, and any anchoring system specified for the product.

DOCUMENTS

Technical Documentation

Check the specifications, instructions, applicable certifications, and up-to-date documentation for the product.

05 / Materials

Recycled Rubber and EPDM in Playground Solutions

The line of outdoor play equipment includes products made from different materials. Depending on the product, the materials used may include recycled rubber granules from end-of-life tyres, EPDM, or a combination of the two.

Recycled rubber granules make it possible to transform recovered material into new components for various applications. In the outdoor play equipment sector, they are used in several products within the product line.

Depending on the product, EPDM can be used for colored components and surfaces or as the main material of the product.

It is therefore incorrect to automatically assume that all products have the same composition. Materials, percentages, colors, performance specifications, and documentation must be verified in the updated product data sheet for each specific product.

06 / Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Outdoor Play Equipment

Useful information on the key factors to consider before choosing equipment for a park or playground.

Where can outdoor play equipment be used?

Possible settings include parks, playgrounds, schools, and other recreational spaces. Some solutions may also be considered in private settings. The actual intended use must be verified on a case-by-case basis.

Can the products be combined with each other?

Different shapes, sizes, and heights can be arranged in sequences and compositions. However, the layout must take into account the available space and the technical specifications of the selected products.

Are all the products made from the same material?

No. The composition varies depending on the product. Depending on the product, recycled rubber, EPDM, or combinations of different materials may be used.

How do you determine the installation method?

The installation method depends on the product, the subfloor, and the intended configuration. Please refer to the instructions and technical documentation for each specific product.

What features should you check before making a choice?

It is helpful to check the dimensions, materials, configuration, installation surface, any fasteners, finishes, intended use, and available technical documentation.

What information is needed to evaluate a supply contract?

It is helpful to specify the location and intended use of the area, its dimensions or floor plan, the products and quantities of interest, the type of flooring or subfloor, installation conditions, and any documentation requirements.

From Space to Design

Are you planning a park or a playground?

Please provide the intended use, the area’s dimensions, the products of interest, and the installation conditions. This information will help us identify the relevant references to review and the necessary documentation.

Before making contact, prepare the following:

  • location and intended use;
  • dimensions or floor plan available;
  • products and quantities of interest;
  • type of flooring or subfloor;
  • specified installation conditions;
