Mitigate Spontaneous Escapes
Playgrounds can be unpredictable spaces, and children may run off unexpectedly. By implementing safety measures, playgrounds can become less stressful for parents while maintaining an inviting atmosphere for kids.
- Install interactive perimeter fences that double as climbing structures, play panels, or sensory walls.
- Use multi-functional benches within the perimeter for resting and interacting, inspired by innovative designs like Möbius strips.
- Include visual and tactile cues near exits to draw children’s attention back to the play area.
