Turning themes, ideas and stories into playgrounds

KOMPAN Design Studio

For more than a decade, we have built tailor-made and highly unique playgrounds that WOW children and adults to come and play. Our playgrounds can come in a range of themes and can be localised and thematised to your local area and community, or to fit a specific environment. No matter the theme all our units are packed full of play value. The play structures are made of highly durable and vandalism-resistant materials that make them last for decades to come. Also, they are safe and certifiable like all products we have built over the past 50 years.

Loaded with play activities

Crossing over

The climbing bridges develop children’s sense of balance, spatial awareness and cross-coordination. The bridges provide an opportunity for social interaction and encourages turn-taking skills and empathy, for example when passing each other.

Stomach-thrilling

The fireman’s pole provides another thrilling opportunity encouraging risk-taking and turn-taking. Coordination is supported when going down, and arm and core muscles are trained.

Room for fun

The roomy decks invite meetings and interaction with other children on and across the ship.

Keep an eye out

The observation post offers a place to be up high. This develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. It offers a meeting point for social interaction and great views.

Coming down

The slide enables a stomach-tickling ride, rewarding children with thrill and fun. Sliding stimulates children’s sense of balance and trains their core muscles.

Is this playground durable?

Yes! All KOMPAN playgrounds are built to withstand decades of weather and usage.

Our engineers carefully calculate the static strength of each playground structure, and our production uses only the highest quality materials. Fifty years of testing through play around the world has given us extensive knowledge on how to achieve extreme durability. This results in minimal downtime and a low total cost of ownership. For generations of children, this means endless hours of play.

Is this playground safe and certifiable?

How to install a playground like this?

At KOMPAN we turn ideas into reality - all the way from defining the playground concept until the playground is installed.

Building a playground is not child’s play. It is a major construction. From clearing the area for foundations to finishing off the site, it involves heavy equipment, extensive materials, complex products and expert knowledge. All these factors must be precisely coordinated to avoid delays. Our expert teams have done it many times and are happy to take this load off your shoulders.
