Nature Play

Natural playground equipment is one of the most effective child development tools that playground designers can utilise. Innately durable and long-lasting, wooden playground equipment strikes a brilliant balance between sturdiness and learning potential, providing children with multiple different learning and engagement opportunities at once. At Kompan, our range of natural playground equipment is built upon 50 years of research and experience, enabling us to continually improve and perfect our designs.

Whatever the goal or theme of your play space, natural playground equipment is not only likely to fit in, it’s sure to offer additional benefits and entice children of all ages.

All Products

From a cognitive perspective, nature play allows young minds to become accustomed to the unusual, rough textures of nature, offering a host of benefits and advantages. Children are able to build a positive association with nature, built from the positive experience they have of playing and engaging with wood, soil and other natural playground surfaces. This is the best way to transition a love of nature into adulthood. Additionally, nature play encourages children to step out of their comfort zone and engage with textures and objects that they have never come across before. This willingness to discover new things is incredibly beneficial, helping boost attainment within school alongside creating positive habits and behaviours that stay with you into adulthood.

Cognitive benefits aren’t the only growth opportunities that natural playground equipment offers though - there are also physical advantages. The natural versatility of wood makes a brilliant playground equipment material, and our vast range can cater for all manner of physical challenges. From obstacle courses and springers to climbing apparatus and swings, we have created wooden playground equipment that covers all major ranges. Each of these options permits different physical development opportunities, allowing children to practice both fine and gross motor skills depending on the specific playground equipment in question. Through this, it’s possible to combine nature’s innate cognitive benefits with the physical development strengths offered by other playground equipment designs.
