The top 5 things families love at an outdoor play area

When families visit an outdoor play area, the best equipment isn’t just about keeping kids busy—it’s about creating spaces where children of different ages and their parents can get together and laugh, and create memories.

Whether you're looking to upgrade a commercial community space, or any outdoor space, here are the top 5 things families love most—and how we bring them to life.

• Playground favourite, The swing - Swings will always be playground staples. The nest swing allows multiple children, or a parent and child, to lie down and soar together. They are highly inclusive and great for both relaxing and high-flying fun.



• Super slides - Families flock to slides that offer big thrills. In public parks, wide embankment slides built into hillsides or towering spiral tubes are massive hits, giving kids a rush of adrenaline and excitement. The straight slide is a firm favourite and the most popular from our Multiplay clubhouses.

• High-adventure climbing structures - Climbing frames and wooden towers are absolute family magnets and can create a great playground centerpiece.  Older kids love the challenge of climbing high, toddlers love navigating the lower-level gangplanks, and parents love the physical development it encourages.

• Play trails - these are fantastic for keeping families moving together. By linking balance beams, stepping logs, wobble bridges, and rope traverses into a continuous circuit, play trails turn a stroll through the park into an imaginative obstacle course. Children love the "floor is lava" challenge of navigating the trail without touching the ground.

• Zip Lines - For older kids and thrill-seekers, aerial runways and traversing challenges are the ultimate park prizes. It introduces a safe element of speed, adrenaline, and full-body coordination.
