Play areas
One of the most often quoted reasons for moving to a residential estate is to give children a safe place to play . This is because most parents realise that children need a change from structured lessons , rigidly defined sports codes , disciplined dance lessons , computer games and TV . Children need to explore , to run , jump , skip and roll – to stretch their imaginations and expand their creativity . In short , to develop mentally and physically through active outdoor play . To frolic .
Reintroducing the natural elements into our playgrounds by including wood , sand and water , we make playgrounds that are , in effect , natural . Extensive plantings create a landscape that young minds can populate with dragons , pirates and fairies , and the playgrounds are designed to encourage active play and socialisation . Every small hill , tiny stream or pond , tree or jungle gym challenges children to step beyond their comfort zones , learn new skills , improve their balance , and take “ risks ” – but in a perfectly safe , hazard-free environment .
Green Outdoor Gyms offer longer product warranties than all our younger competitors . We were the first and we intend to be here the longest , with the highest number of outdoor parks on the continent .
