Commercial Playground Equipment
Residential playground equipment is often only used by kids in one family and by their friends. Residential play equipment is made with thinner roto-molded plastic and thin-walled poles and posts, and often doesn’t require much safety surfacing. Commercial playground equipment, on the other hand, is built to handle a lot more kids playing at once for longer periods of time. Commercial play equipment also requires more safety surfacing than residential play equipment.
How much does it cost to build a playground?
Schools, faith centers, parks and public spaces want the size and dependability of commercial play equipment. They typically don’t have the budget or space requirements for residential options. Orca Coast Playground facilities need a range of age-appropriate, engaging and challenging structures that are made for dozens or even hundreds of children at a time.
Children build self-esteem and confidence by tackling challenges on different pieces of equipment. They learn to communicate with their friends and collaborate through group activities. Children develop coordination and balance by moving around the equipment and improving their strength by climbing. They also improve their problem-solving skills by working with their hands to complete tasks like swinging on monkey bars or walking around the spinners.
Adding independent play events to a commercial school playground, park or childcare environment helps give kids new thrills and encourage them to work together with their friends. These include merry-go-rounds, which provide the adrenaline rush of spinning around as fast as possible. Climbers help kids improve their balance and strength and allow them to explore various heights and styles of climbing.
