How Do I Choose the Right Outdoor Playground Equipment?
If you’re looking for freestanding play equipment, there are a few different things to consider.
First, think about what type of equipment your children will enjoy. Do they thrive on active play, or prefer roleplaying and imagination based games? Perhaps they would benefit most from sensory play, such as sand and water equipment?
You should also take into consideration factors such as age range, appropriate safety and challenge levels – our team can provide guidance to help you select the right equipment for your setting and target age group.
Whether you already know what type of outdoor playground equipment you’re looking for, or just want to see what options are available, take a look at our huge range of play equipment options to find a project that meets your budget and space requirements.

FAQs
Which type of freestanding playground equipment is the best fit?
The best type of playground equipment will depend on the space you’re working with and the children you’re designing for. Playground equipment should be age-appropriate to ensure safety, and an appropriate level of challenge and engagement for children.
That’s why we offer such a wide range, from performance areas to play huts, sensory walls and tables, and roleplaying.
What are the benefits of freestanding playground equipment?
Freestanding playground equipment is a unique and often simple (as well as cost effective) way to revitalise a play space, with a varied array of equipment designed to target different skills and pastimes.
Much of our equipment is also designed to support EYFS creative play and development – pretend play is particularly important at this age as it nurtures social and individual cognitive developments.
Meanwhile, freestanding equipment like trim trails support physical health and motor skills through active play, which also boosts endorphins and improves mental health and is a key part of learning to play.
How to ensure the safety of freestanding playground equipment?
Freestanding playground equipment must meet UK safety standards to ensure the safety of children during play, and all of our products are wholly compliant with the essential safety standards of UK playgrounds.
Creative Play ensures safety at the point of installation, and also offers a range of playground safety surfacing which can be installed alongside your equipment.
We also encourage regular maintenance and inspections, which our team are able to carry out.
