Top Playground Trends for 2021 – from Kids Gotta Play
Inclusion and Social Equity
The first trend that we have found in playgrounds is the improvement and growth of inclusive playgrounds. Accessible and universally designed playgrounds have been on the rise for sometime but 2021 will be the year that takes this to another level. 2020 has seen a rise in playgrounds meeting the bare minimum of ADA standards.
Embracing the Natural Landscape of Your Yard
Improve your beautiful backyard with rope based play and nets to give a more natural feel. Playground nets give you flexibility in the design that flows well with natural settings. Instead of working around your landscape, you can connect the natural environment with the play environment through custom designs.
Community Health and Wellness
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck the US, many kids were left with no where to play and experience the health benefits. Communities and parents throughout the country are realizing the importance of providing play and fitness areas. It is important for communities and parks to think about sanitization and for home owners, it is nice to have the piece of mind that your kids playing in your own yard.
Using Outdoor Spaces for Learning
Also occasioned by the pandemic, outdoor learning and outdoor classrooms now can replace or supplement learning online. All data indicates this continuing through 2021 as more schools have shifted to online learning and recess at home is becoming important.
Environmentally Responsible Play and Activity
The need to provide environmentally safe play equipment has been growing for some time, and doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. Offering electronic and interactive play without the need to replace batteries is one way we can help build sustainable play options.
