Schoolyards
Schoolyard play is high-volume in brief spurts, so a successful school play area must be able to handle large groups and absorb the energy released after hours in the classroom. For this reason, Richter’s rugged constructions are good choices for schoolyards; and they can accommodate many children playing at a variety of paces─from full-body movement and great explorations to solitary and sheltered play.

Community Playspaces
Like schoolyards, community playspaces are visited frequently by the same groups of children. This means that the environment must offer a variety of play activities, opportunities for mastery, and areas for discovery so that the children are excited to return—to climb a little higher or try the faster slide. Community playgrounds are also social hubs, where children of different ages can meet and mingle, and where families can come together and relax.
