Inspirational Playground Concept
The Train
'Trains, no matter where in the world, all look similar but distinctive. They transport people and materials and as centerpieces on a playground, they can transport enormous quantities of fun for children ...'
Play Designer, KOMPAN Design Studio
Destination enjoyment
The Train and Wagon present a fun and challenging play experience for big and small children from the age of four.
Within the cab of the train, a large dashboard motivates dramatic play and trains logical thinking. The kettle presents a circular space to climb through, and a 3-dimensional net allows for accessing the space under the train.
The Wagon, apart from inspiring the use of language in imaginative dramatic play, stimulates physical play, through climbing and sliding. All the inside and outside meeting points support social interaction.

Turning themes, ideas and stories into playgrounds
KOMPAN Design Studio
For more than a decade, we've built tailor-made and highly unique playgrounds that WOW both children and adults. The playgrounds come in a variety of themes and can be customized to your local area and community, or to a specific environment. While they look different, each design is loaded with the play activities we've developed for more than half a century. The play structures are made of highly durable and vandalism-resistant materials that make them last for decades to come. Also, they're safe and certified, like all products we've built over the past 50 years.
