Accessories That Complete Your Playground Area
Creating a playground goes beyond selecting the right slides, swings, and climbing frames. It’s about creating an environment where families, children, and community members feel comfortable, welcomed, and inclined to stay longer. Integrating outdoor seating and other essential accessories into your playground provides functionality and accessibility. Let’s explore the indispensable accessories that complete your playground area, focusing on outdoor seating and how it transforms spaces into communal hubs.
Community Seating: The Heart of Gathering
Youth Shelters are a multifaceted solution for shelter and seating in park and recreational settings. These structures are ideally suited for various uses, including sports seating adjacent to courts, outdoor picnic areas, or comfortable seating spaces near playgrounds. The versatility of these shelters makes them an integral part of any community space, providing a covered area where people can gather, rest, and engage in social activities.
Constructed from 89% recycled steel, these shelters are not only environmentally friendly but also boast a super-tough build quality, ensuring durability and longevity. Some models are renowned for their exceptional impact strength—250 times that of glass—providing safety and security without compromising visibility. These shelters are a testament to thoughtful design, merging practicality with sustainability to create welcoming areas for people of all ages to enjoy.

Planters & Arches: Adding Greenery and Structure
Planters and arches do more than simply complement the existing infrastructure of playgrounds and recreational areas. They invite nature’s touch into these communal spaces, encouraging play, relaxation, and aesthetic appeal. Incorporating these elements enhances the visual landscape and offers an opportunity to cultivate gardens that add life and colour to the environment.
- Planters: Planters are incredibly versatile elements that can be used to introduce a variety of plants, flowers, and even small trees to playgrounds and parks. They provide a controlled environment for gardening, allowing for creating specific themes or colour schemes throughout the year.
- Arches: Arches serve as architectural features that can transform the entrance to a playground or garden area into a gateway. Beyond their visual appeal, arches can support climbing plants and flowers, creating natural canopies that provide shade and a sense of wonder.
Canopies & Outdoor Classrooms
Canopies serve multiple purposes in playgrounds and recreational areas, most notably by providing shade and protection from weather conditions, thus ensuring these spaces remain accessible and comfortable throughout the year. Beyond their practical applications, canopies also create versatile areas for a range of activities. Under the shelter of a canopy, outdoor classrooms come to life, storytime sessions become more engaging, and creative workshops blend with the sounds and sights of nature.
These spaces encourage interactive, hands-on learning experiences that engage students on multiple levels, fostering a deeper connection to the environment, enhancing physical well-being, and supporting social and emotional development.
Arbours & Shade Sails
Arbours and shade sails provide necessary shade and add visual interest to playgrounds. These elements can create serene and comfortable areas for relaxation and protection from the elements, enhancing the usability and enjoyment of outdoor spaces.
Including outdoor seating and other accessories transforms a playground from a simple play area into a comprehensive community space. Contact us to add these necessary components to your school/ community area.
