Buying New Playground Equipment Georgia

By Jaclyn Hurley


Schools and municipal districts all over the state are often looking to buy new climbing systems for their parks. Children today are being encouraged to get more exercise and spend time outdoors. Not only does this help them to stay fit, but can also have positive effects on their school work as well. With this in mind they need to look around for the best value playground equipment Georgia.

As more and more research is done it is becoming clear that time spent in old fashioned pursuits like swinging on the monkey bars can have a very positive impact on academic scores. Children need to build up their muscles, especially those in their core to be able to sit properly at a desk and write. Additional time allocated to physical fitness is now being directly correlated to higher classroom scores and lower behavior problems.

Working with an experienced company is also very important. It takes time to really find a great company that provides not only to quality equipment but also professional installation and maintenance. Well made play systems should give many years of wear and once installed typically do not require further work. A visual inspection should be carried out regularly to make sure there are not cracks or other problems, however these are very rare.

Play ground systems have come a long way in the past ten years or so. They are now carefully designed to provide a fun yet safe play experience for all children. Traditional parks were often quite dangerous and injuries were common. Designers are now very aware of trying to incorporate enough challenging elements to keep the youngsters happy, but eliminate any inherently dangerous features.

A system designed in the shape of a pirate ship is one of the most popular designs. Kids of all ages seem to love the mischief of pirates and will quickly be playing their own games as they run around and get lots of exercise. Studies have shown that the more outdoor time children have the better their physical and mental health. They even do better on tests at school.

Slides are an essential part of any play system. There are so many different sizes and designs to choose from. For the smaller children a short slide is very practical, but as they get older kids are looking for something more fun. The double or triple slides are always popular as they allow the children to race. The spiral slides are also fun. Adding the rumble or wave slide to the set provides an extra element of fun.

Day care centers and pre school programs need lots of age appropriate equipment to keep the youngsters busy. There are so many fun configurations to choose from or a custom design can also be put together. Many directors like to meet with the design team to come up with a really great play set that will last for years. Often the outdoor space is a deciding factor for parents and having a really unique system is a bonus.

Building upper body strength is very important for children. A good set of monkey bars or rings will keep kids entertained for hours. Track slides are also becoming more popular and have the advantage of lasting for many years.
