Garden play equipment for teens and toddlers?

6 replies

Curfew · 15/11/2025 11:57

Can anyone suggest anything that would be suitable? Not a trampoline.
I have to make suggestions for garden equipment for a small block of flats, budget around 3000 although this could be increased if need be.
One family with (tall) teens who would like e.g. bars to do pull ups and monkey bars.
One family with a toddler.
One family expecting.
All other occupants upper middle aged- retired.

Look at Berg as things can be interchangeable ie pull up rings and toddler seat etc. Very few companies can support as high a weight range for teens.

I’m intrigued!
Is it a private garden or accessible to the public? How big is it? And how much is it used? Do the flats have their own gardens or is it this one communal area? Is there much turnover in the accommodation? Are you looking to have something permanent or something more akin to the sort of things you’d get in a residential back garden eg a little tikes plastic set up which can be moved and replaced and a basketball hoop which has water as the weighted base rather than permanent ones which are drilled into the ground?

It's private, a communal garden for the people
who live in the block. There are no private gardens. Needs to be permanent. I like the look of those Berg ones, I think that could work. Thanks.

One of those concrete table tennis tables would be great.

I’d get pull up/monkey bars, a slide and a game such as the table tennis suggestion, a basketball hoop or even a hundred square or hopscotch painted on the ground.

I like the idea of table tennis
i’d also suggest some sort of climbing frame… one of those ones which look like random logs & a couple of nets. Even once they have lost their challenge as a climbing apparatus, the children can still sit on them.
