Design, construction and development of custom-made play areas for communities and public spaces

Designing a playground adapted to children’s needs requires an approach focused on safety, accessibility, motor and cognitive development, and fun. This type of project must comply with current European safety standards, including EN 1176 and EN 117. Proludic’s experts are available to advise and support you throughout this process.

First, it is crucial to identify and analyze the needs of the target audience: define the age groups of children (0-3 years, 3-6 years, 6-12 years, etc.) and take into account specific needs, particularly those of children with disabilities or with varying physical and cognitive abilities. Proludic designs inclusive playgrounds and offers an inclusion diagnosis to optimize the accessibility of your play areas.

Next, the location of the playground is a determining factor: is the site safe? Is it in a park? Does it have shaded areas? Is it easily accessible by transport or suitable for strollers and wheelchairs?

Furthermore, the equipment must be diversified to offer a varied and enriching play experience. It must allow for the development of several skills: motor skills with slides, swings and balance courses; socialization through playhouses and collaborative spaces; and sensory stimulation through varied textures, attractive colors, as well as water or sand games.

In addition, sustainable landscaping is essential to ensure the playground’s harmonious integration into its surroundings. Outdoor furniture, such as benches, rest areas for companions, drinking water points, toilets, and picnic and shade areas, will help make it a truly vibrant place. Groundwork is key: Proludic designs and installs resilient, shock-absorbing floors, gravel pits, rubber tiles, and sand.

Proludic offers a wide variety of materials for playground design. Proludic manufactures children’s playgrounds in natural and sustainable wood, compact composite, glued laminated timber, plywood, galvanized and painted galvanized steel, stainless steel, and painted aluminum.

Play is essential for learning and growing well. Play is a fundamental need in a child’s development, helping them develop their motor, sensory, cognitive, creative, and social abilities. Through play, they acquire new skills, develop body control, and develop interpersonal skills.

We’re seeing a return to natural, sustainable wood playground equipment and spaces. The Origin’ playground range replicates and extends these outdoor adventures, safely and in compliance with current standards. The Origin’ range, made from natural, sustainable wood, is designed and manufactured by Proludic. For children, the space they discover becomes even more lifelike, and the play structures are enriched with new educational experiences.
Theming is also a current design trend. This translates into play structures with a strong imaginative power and floor coverings consistent with the chosen theme.

At Proludic, we design inclusive playgrounds so that every child, with or without disabilities, can thrive.
To create a truly inclusive playground, it is crucial to understand the needs of children with different types of disabilities (motor, sensory, and intellectual). Every child must have access to play spaces, and this requires a well-thought-out layout and specific equipment.
At Proludic, we believe that all children should have access to play and to the same games.
