The Problem
• The problem was to design a playground for the 4 to 6-year-old age set.
• It had to be safe, be the correct size, and have at least 3 types of play.

Research
• The average height of a 5-year-old is 43”. The average weight is 43 to 48 lbs.
• Playgrounds shouldn’t be more than 8 feet high for children.
• Plastic is better than wood because it will not shrink or rot.
• Rubber or tire shreds are the best surface because it cushions falls.

The Solution
• This playground is simple to assemble by a few people.
• It doesn’t have very many unique parts to it, which makes it simpler.

Forms of Play
• This playground has 3 forms of play.
• There are slides, ladders for climbing, and a separate sandbox.

Materials
• All parts are polyurethane plastic except for the ladder bars, platform bars, and the slide bar, which are metal.
• This reduces weight and is better than wood because it doesn’t rot.
These parts are made of aluminum.

Construction
• No bolts or nails are needed.
• All construction is done by inserting poles or shapes into the designated areas.
This ladder bar is inserted into this specially shaped hole.

Construction (cont.)
• Setting up the construction is as easy as putting the supports in place and then sliding on the platforms.
• This allows for quick disassembly.

Construction (cont.)
• The whole system can be built by a few people working together in a very short time.
• The slide is exactly 1 foot above the bottom of the supports to allow for 1 foot of shredded tire or rubber surfacing.
The supports are covered in about 1 foot of tire shreds, which the slides rest on.

Design
• This playground was designed to be safe.
• The platform is only about 3 ft. above the rubber surface.
• The rubber surface reduces the impact if someone falls off.

Design (cont.)
• There are two slides for different speeds.
• The bars of the ladders are only 8” apart to prevent falling between them.
• The slides have sides to prevent falling.
One slide is shorter and steeper.
The other is longer and less steep.

Design (cont.)
• Holes in the platforms drain water and lighten the weight.

Possible Improvements
• The ladders could have sides to further prevent falls.
• The slides could have higher sides.
• The head platform could have additional playthings.
