It will be hard to get children to leave the fun of the Villa. When arriving in front of the structure, the first thing kids will notice is the cute hut like section. Heading up the Access Platform, they can easily slip into it and head to the bench to chat with a friend. For those that want to continue on, they can head across the wobble bridge by grasping either set of rails. Making it to the next section of the structure, they can either head down the Rock Climber where the Whistle waits to be played or continue upwards and onwards. Quickly, they will come to an Overhead Ladder to take them across to a Turn Bar. After going back and forth a few time, they might design to head back up. This time they’ll take the Boarding Net or attempt the Curly Climber. Once up on the main deck by the DuoChute Slide, they can play on one of two BigWheels. Finally, when they’re ready, they can slide down to the ground.
When choosing a playground it is important to consider where the components have come from. Conditioned wood or recycled metal posts are both opportunities to take part in environmental stewardship. Wood was once a staple of playground design, but as time has continued, it has become less common. But, wood and natural materials make for natural learning environments that can be important for children’s development. Several teaching methods use nature and natural tools as ways to reach children. On the other hand, the recycled metal used comes from items that would otherwise rust away in dumps. The recycled plastic comes from specifically milk jugs. As Americans, we tend to drink a large amount of milk every day. This results in millions of used milk contains every year. Even if the play set purchased only uses a few thousand of those milk jugs, its that many more that didn’t end up in a landfill. Your playground purchase can be part of the solution that limits waste.
