What qualifies as a "good" piece of playground equipment? Of course, there is no silver bullet—which is why playgrounds consist of many different kinds of equipment—but in our view, a piece of playground equipment should accomplish at least ONE of the following:

  • Stimulate kids creatively
  • Encourage cooperation and/or competition
  • Be FUN!
