What is freestanding playground equipment?
Freestanding playground equipment refers to stand-alone play structures that add lots of fun to smaller playgrounds at a minimal cost.
Playgrounds do not necessarily need to take up a lot of space. Even one or two high-quality, thoughtfully selected stand-alone pieces of play equipment can spark curiosity and playfulness in children. Within KOMPAN freestanding play equipment, you will find everything from timeless classics such as swings, slides and playhouses to innovative and inclusive carousels and climbing nets. Choose from a broad portfolio of equipment that can stand alone, be grouped together, or be set out around a larger structure from our range.
Freestanding play equipment is designed to engage and develop children with creative, physical and social play. Each of the play items focus on at least one play activity. Still, KOMPAN always aims to add layers of activity with multiple ways of experiencing play for all ages and abilities.
