What are the playground favourites?

Traditional playground equipment that’s stood the test of time – you’ve never seen climbing frames, roundabouts, slides, swings and seesaws built to this standard.

Loved for generations but made with modern-day safety and material standards, all of our playground favourites are independently certified and constructed with long-lasting laminated timber and stainless steel.

Why are these options the most popular playground equipment?

The most popular playground equipment – including slides, swings, climbing frames and more – has been crowned the children’s champion for one important reason: they are beloved by children and families!

Whether it’s the excitement of being pushed on a swing, the rush of being spun on a roundabout or finally managing to conquer the climbing frame, this equipment is by far the most popular in traditional playgrounds. This exciting equipment offers the perfect mix of fun, challenge and social bonding.

Get funding for playground favourites

Grants and funding for popular playground equipment are regularly available via a range of schemes, with different funding bodies offering varying amounts throughout the year.

If you’re looking for help securing support for your playground project, take a look at our comprehensive playground funding guide for expert tips and advice on how to apply.

What environment is best for playground equipment?

Any outdoor environment can be turned into the perfect spot for traditional playground equipment, from a school playground to a housing development play area, local authority park, leisure operator grounds or otherwise.

Speak to our friendly team and find out how to make the most of your space.

Is traditional playground equipment outdated?

You can’t reinvent the wheel – and nor should you!

Playdale’s most popular playground equipment is also our most traditional playground equipment. That’s because playground favourites have stood the test of time with both children and adults.

Where our playground favourites set themselves apart is in their unparalleled build quality, durability of materials and modern innovations on classic play equipment.

Is traditional playground equipment less inclusive than more modern playground equipment?

Not at all – Playdale’s traditional playground equipment has evolved to include children of all abilities, where possible.

A perfect example of this is our Inclusive Orbit roundabout, a wheelchair accessible iteration of the playground staple. We also offer a Timber Team Swing, with inclusive seating for children with mobility issues, as well as a Gravity Rider rocker for children with difficulties supporting their neck and back.
