Adventure/Fitness Themed Playgrounds - Garland Playground Replacement Program

Adventure/Fitness

The need for neighborhood parks that place focus on adventure and fitness is escalating due to the general need for more physical activity among children. Designing a park that emphasizes adventure and fitness is a great way to promote healthy lifestyle habits from a very early age. Play and fitness blur together when the experience is fun and engaging. There are many varieties of structural elements that provide the opportunity

to hone skills such as strength, balance, and agility. Creating your own personal challenges, having a goal to work towards and either failing or achieving that goal are all good lessons for a developing child. This is also a great arena to get the entire family involved in participating in the fun and exercising together. Adventure play spaces work especially well in areas that are in close proximity to trails, active neighborhoods, and schools.
