Other favorite piece of equipments are the traditional swings and swinging nests which allows close interaction among a group of friends.

PlayGround Expansion Completed at Reculver Primary School in the UK

The staff and students at Reculver Primary School in the UK wanted to expand their original playground that would encourage high activity levels in a safe outdoor play environment and meet the special needs of children who were visually and/or hearing impaired.

The new playground was also designed to handle greater amount of play in various types of weather, PE delivery and the creation of multiple skills long term. In fact, the new resource play area has offered more active playtime for students and the school's objective to provide five hours of high quality PE activity everyday.
