Older kids have different play needs—that’s why we offer school-age playgrounds specifically designed to entertain, challenge, burn calories, boost brain power, and build relationships. Explore our play equipment for children ages 5-12 to create a brand new structure or enhance your existing playground for kids of all abilities. When you choose school-age playground equipment from Playworld, we work with you to create the ideal combination for your play space. We know how important it is to encourage healthy, lifelong habits in children. As kids grow, you can count on our play equipment to be a constant source of fun.
Children begin playing at a young age, and it becomes an essential part of their social life, development, and health. Playing teaches children how to interact, problem-solve, and overcome adversity. The benefits of play for school-age children include:
As children grow up, they can use equipment in different ways. Providing a space for them to excel outside of their home and school can help them fully express themselves.
We offer a range of school-age playground equipment products for kids ages 5 to 12. For example, our upper-body activities get children started on building their strength and challenging themselves. The Straight Horizontal Loop Ladder challenges early school-age children to push themselves. As they grow, they can use their arms to try and go faster and do laps on the bars. You can add other activities such as the Twist ‘N Twirl™ to your existing playground or as a stand-alone feature.
Our Challengers® series playgrounds are also perfect for school-age children because of their versatility. Our different models have climbing areas for older kids as well as slides and steps for younger ones, creating a hub for interactions between children.
The Motion Play options are great for practicing balance and grip strength. Children can spin and climb on the Cone Spinner or Cone Spinner Diamond and test their endurance. Motion play increases their balance in a fun, exciting way.
Whether you choose a full playground or separate stand-alone items, our selections are personalized to each age group to meet their specific needs. We keep kids’ growth in mind for our school-age products and create tools to help them play and change over time. Learn more about how our playground equipment can benefit school-age children.
Children’s playgrounds should be a safe place to foster fun, creativity, and learning, so the quality of your school-age playground equipment is important. Details like shatterproof plastics and strong steel platforms make a huge impact. We focus on those little details so you can focus on the magic of play.
Building school-age playgrounds is a big task, which is why Playworld has created different resources to help you further. Our Inclusive Design Guide, developed by childhood development and playground experts, takes you in-depth into practical ways you can engage the senses, creativity, and intellect of children of all abilities on your school-age playground.
