Why Wooden Playgrounds Are Making a Comeback

What do you imagine when you think of a playground? Perhaps you envision colorful slides, swings and monkey bars. But did you also know that wooden play equipment is making a comeback? Now they are making a comeback of sorts, and for good reason.

Wooden playgrounds take us back to simpler days. 

Ever imagine what playgrounds were like decades past? They’re the type of shoe that reminds us of when things were just a little bit slower and simpler. They are homey, instead of shiny plastic toy places to play.

Wooden playgrounds are parent favourites since they use natural materials. 

Do you know what “natural” means? I mean things of nature, the trees of that earth. Wooden play structures are composed of wood and trees can be replanted. This makes them a savvy pick for parents who are also earth-friendly eco warriors that want to teach their kids to be kind to our planet.

Wooden play sets are also notorious for being sturdy and standing up against the test of time. 

Have you ever played on a wooden playground? If you’ve done, though, they hurt like hell. And while some plastic toys can easily break, wooden playgrounds are hardy and made for lots of fun. And they can last for many years, meaning that children like you can have fun playing with them again and again.

Wooden Playground Design Options There are also many interesting options for wooden playground designs. 

You ever been on a playground that’s a castle or a pirate ship? Wooden playgrounds can be designed to be something special, with secret hideouts, bridges and tunnels to explore. A wooden playground is make for fun a all day.

Wooden playgrounds are also going up, in part to get kids outdoors rather than staring at screens. 

Do you know where you stand when it comes to tablets or phones? It’s good to take breaks and play outside in the fresh air. Wood playground equipment encourages kids to move, then move some more, from running to jumping to climbing God knows what and more, all of which are good for their health. So the next time you're compelled to play in or out, head to a wooden playground and have fun in the sun.
