Ideas for play and playgrounds from around the globe....
posted by jblumstock  on Nov 27 2008
I've found that no matter how breathtaking the scenery, no matter how fabulous the food, what children really enjoy about any vacation are the new playgrounds they get to play in.  This was certainly the case during a recent trip to Budapest.  Happily for us, the city takes playgrounds ve....

idea for equipment manufacturers
Posted: 05 Sep 07 8:11 AM
I've had an idea floating around in my head that a play equipment manufacturer ought to build.  It is a kid powered lift/elevator that would raise a platform up to a deck when a wheel was turned by a group of kids.  It would need counterbalancing to make it easy to operate and hydraulic dampeners so it could avoid sudden up or down movements.  Basically a manually operated dumb waiter.  I think it would be great for promoting interaction with kids in wheel chairs, and would be fun for other kids as well.  Anybody know a play equipment designer?

What a great idea!  It's fun, interactive, and useful for children of all abilities.  I sent your message to some contacts at Landscape Structures, and they replied right away. Here's an excerpt:

"We will consider this idea as we are developing ideas for accessibility. Timing is good as this is a product priority for us."

So thanks for being so creative, and hopefully we'll see this piece of equipment at playgrounds soon.
