Scandia Playground RecommendationsHi everyone, Brenda (Bee) gave me the catalogs that were in the office there that had playground, exercise, and park equipment. I went through the catalogs and noted which items I liked, what page they are on, if they are handicapped accessible, and what age group they are intended for. The attached document has this information. There are some overlaps and duplication and certainly not everything on the list would be what I would recommend would be combined to create one playground. However, there are some elements that I found myself looking for: • play equipment for 2-5 year olds. Perhaps a small section for this age group. • play equipment for 5-12 year olds. This group would have more equipment. • themed play areas for 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds. These are focused on nature primarily. • exercise/fitness equipment for 13-17 year old youth and adults. This could be in its own section so that the little kids don't get hurt on the equipment intended for older youth and adults; and that teens/adults have their own fitness area. It would be nice to have some individual pieces for adults near the youth equipment so parents/guardians can be active while watching their kids. • sensory play for youth and those with special needs. • play equipment and swings for youth with differing abilities. • musical instruments to add an art component to play. The instruments are meant for people of all ages. • age-appropriate seating for preschoolers as well as adults, keeping in mind tables that are ADA accessible. • coverings/sails that would provide shade over equipment and/or gathering areas. • trash cans around the play, eating, and exercise areas. • hand sanitizer station around the play, eating, and exercise areas. • a basketball set-up which could be put on the edge of the grass/parking lot and then a basketball court markings be painted on the parking lot. • an outdoor volleyball set with either grass or sand as the base.
