5 to 12 years

Child development experts and parents agree play is an essential part of childhood. Outdoor play areas can help children develop physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. However children of different ages have dramatically different needs for developmentally appropriate play experiences. Having separate play areas marked by signage indicating each age-appropriate area is strongly recommended by industry standards. Guidelines have been created by organizations such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the National Program for Playground Safety (NPPS) to help make America’s play areas developmentally appropriate, more enjoyable, and safer for all children.

Play Areas for Children 5 to 12 Years Old

We have an extensive selection of commercial playground equipment designed specifically for school-age children ranging from 5 to 12 years old. At this age children are rapidly learning and building their skills. Developmentally they are moving towards more complex play and require increased levels of physical challenges to remain occupied. They are constantly refining their fine and gross motor skills, coordination, balance and strength. School aged children will now have highly developed socialization skills and in turn they start to find creative ways to incorporate play elements into activities such as competitions, or imaginative and elaborate games. Their space should provide both physical and mental challenges to keep the older children occupied, engaged and out of trouble.

Some examples of age appropriate equipment for a 5 to 12 year old child are:
