Parks and playgrounds are places where kids’ imaginations run wild. What’s more, they provide fun and engaging ways for children to meet others their age and exercise (not to mention burn off excess energy). But if you’ve ever been to a variety of playgrounds or parks with your children, you likely already know that not all of these spaces are alike. 

If you’re looking for advice on how to choose kids’ jungle gym equipment for a school or park, you’re in the right place.

Benefits of Jungle Gym Equipment for Children

• Physical Development: From climbing to swinging and balancing, playground equipment encourages children to exercise, which is key to not only their overall health and wellbeing, but also to their physical development.
• Social Interaction: As humans, we’re all wired to be social. But social interaction also plays an important role in cognitive development. Kids’ jungle gym outdoor equipment provides a dedicated space where children can bond with each other.
• Imaginative Play: Jungle gym outdoor playground equipment not only lets kids gather to interact, but also to engage in imaginative play.
• Outdoor Engagement: Getting outdoors into the natural elements help children get healthy sun exposure, which can help their bodies produce Vitamin D. Going outside is also a great mood booster.

Now that we know the importance of jungle gyms, what jungle gym is best for kids?

What’s the Best Jungle Gym Playground Equipment?

Here are some of the best types of commercial jungle gym equipment for parks and schools where kids can engage in healthy activity, bond with peers, and use their imagination.

Climbing Structures & Net Climbers

Our Net Climbers are some of our most popular jungle gym play equipment! Choose from rotating climbers, frame net climbers, or attach one to your playground structure!

Climbing nets and climbing walls challenge children's motor skills and help build their strength. They are often sold as standalone equipment but can also be incorporated into larger structures, such as part of a play course.

Adventure Tower Jungle Gyms

Adventure towers are usually split into multiple levels or tiers, incorporating ladders and observation decks, slides, and climbing structures. They provide more space for multiple children to play and are ideal for larger playground environments.

Swing Sets

Commercial swing sets are a classic kids’ playground item. Swings can also be enjoyed by children and parents together! Did you know that swings are more than just fun, though? Like climbing structures, they actually challenge children's motor skills and help build strength. Learn how to choose jungle gym equipment for your project.
