Choosing the right playground equipment depends on who will be using it, the size of your space, and what you want to achieve. At Safe Play Australia, we guide you through the process to ensure you get a fun, safe, and long-lasting play space that meets your needs. Here’s what to consider:

1. Who Will Be Using It?

Think about the age groups and abilities of the children who will be using the playground. Different equipment is designed for different developmental stages:

  • Early childhood (2-5 years) – Low platforms, gentle slides, balance play, and sensory activities.
  • Primary school (5-12 years) – Climbing nets, monkey bars, swings, and interactive play elements.
  • Teens & community – Ninja-style courses, outdoor fitness equipment, and open recreation spaces.
  • Inclusive play – Consider accessible ramps, sensory equipment, and ground-level play features for children of all abilities.

2. How Much Space Do You Have?

Playgrounds need enough room for safe play and clear fall zones around equipment. We help assess your site and suggest designs that maximise play value while ensuring safety and compliance with Australian Standards (AS 4685).

3. What’s Your Budget?

We tailor solutions to fit your budget while ensuring high-quality, durable equipment that lasts for years. We also help plan for staged installations if you want to expand over time.

4. What Kind of Play Experience Do You Want?

Do you want a climbing adventure, an imaginative play area, a nature-inspired space, or a fitness-focused playground? We offer:

  • Classic play structures – Slides, swings, climbing walls, and tunnels.
  • Nature-based play – Timber structures, logs, and sensory gardens.
  • Ninja & obstacle courses – Perfect for older kids and schools.
  • Outdoor fitness equipment – Ideal for public spaces and active communities.
  • Custom designs – the sky is the limit!

5. What About Safety & Maintenance?

We provide low-maintenance, long-lasting solutions with safe surfacing options like mulch, synthetic grass, or rubber. We also offer ongoing maintenance and spare parts to keep your playground in top condition.
