The outdoor playground area must satisfy the children’s need for a good development. Playgrounds left in their natural state are often the best. The nature does not give obvious answers to the range of application; it can be used in various ways, and it stimulates children’s basic needs for physical activity, experimentation, exploration and managing.

When you planning to build a out door playground for your kid, a location away from roads and driveways and readily visible from inside the home and patios or porches, is important. So, keep the following points in mind:

Choosing site

Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries – such as low overhanging tree branches, overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks, and concrete.

Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set tipping over and loose- fill surfacing materials washing away during heavy rains.

Some sites may need re-grading to improve drainage or to reduce the slope. Locate play equipment at least 6 feet from any structure or obstacle, such as a house,fence, sheds, trees or poles. Swings should be further away from structures to the front and rear of the swings – a distance equal to twice the height of the top bar from which the swing is suspended.

Locate bare metal platforms and slides out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood of serious burns. A slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight. Most of the children can injure themselves when they fall or run between pieces of play equipment.

Play Areas

·So provide shock-absorbing protective surfacing material underneath and at least 6 feet beyond the perimeter of the play structure. Provide enough room so that children can use the equipment safely. For example, for structures with multiple play activities, a slide should not exit in front of a swing. Place each piece of play equipment so that it has at least 6 feet of play area around it.The areas in front of and behind swings need even more play space.

Separate active and quiet activities from each other. For example, locate sandboxes away from swings or use a guardrail or barrier to separate the sandbox from the movement of the swings. Another thing that you should consider while building an playground is that the material which the playing instruments are made, fallow these instruction. Metal should be painted, galvanized, or otherwise treated to prevent rust, corrosion and deterioration – Do not use paint containing lead!
