With so much to choose from, however, it can be challenging to narrow down that choice. Thankfully, we’ve listed the top 5 pieces of playground equipment for schools trying to promote exercise and fight the child obesity epidemic, beginning with the most popular.

Climbing Frames

Climbing frames are a great asset in any school playground as they provide a place for children to learn and explore. They offer a tremendous developmental opportunity, too, allowing children to develop their strength, balance and, of course, their hand and eye coordination. They also help kids get a better workout and burn off calories that would otherwise go to their waistlines. Available in a range of sizes, they’re also suitable for various ages.

Adventure Towers

Adventure towers are precisely as they sound, an outdoor playground tower or fortress made precisely for fun and adventure. They are also great for encouraging kids to exercise more and lose weight.

The ones made by the likes of Sovereign Play are available with a multitude of entrances and exits, offering slides, climbing walls and more, making it as challenging or as easy as the child wants. Available for early years foundation stages complete with chalkboards and even junior school children with much higher, challenging frames, these are great for allowing children to let loose and, of course, encouraging early-stage development.

Outdoor Play Structures

The term outdoor play structures cover a whole host of equipment, some more recognizable than the new adventure towers of today. While playground equipment is ever-changing, with new and more modern apparatus available, the old classics are still trendy and provide a great addition to any playground. Simple yet incredibly enticing for any child, think swings, roundabouts and even basket seat swings; these are perfect to complement modern items such as adventure towers and climbing frames. They will also make it easier for students to burn off energy and get more exercise, thereby allowing them to lose weight more easily.

Playground Pirate Ships

Playground Pirate ships are a fantastic addition for the simple fact that they set the scene immediately, allowing children to join in on a mutual game. These are great for encouraging little ones to socialize more and learn how to share their space with others, whether they’re playing together or not.

MUGA Courts

MUGA or multi-use games area courts allow for children to enjoy the sports they love during break times. What’s more, they can also be used for PE lessons and outdoor learning. MUGA courts allow for genuinely versatile use and can therefore prove an excellent investment for any educational setting. From football courts to netball, there are a multitude of options for you to choose from, depending on the age of the children and the needs of the school itself. They are also some of the best types of playground equipment to entice students to exercise more.
