Playground information boards

An information board makes important information at a play or exercise area immediately visible to users, supervisors and visitors. Think of usage rules, safety information, instructions, age indications or other practical information that is relevant to the use of the location.

W&H Sports supplies information boards for playgrounds, schoolyards, sports and exercise locations, recreation areas and public spaces. The boards can be used as an independent information point or be incorporated within a complete sports and play environment.

Different users come together at public play areas. Children want to play, parents and supervisors want to know which arrangements apply and managers want to communicate important information in a clear way.

With an information board, this information is offered in a central and recognisable place. This contributes to clarity and makes it easier for visitors to use the play area in the right way.

A playground board can be provided with different types of information. Consider, for example, general rules of play, instructions for the use of equipment, contact information of the manager or points of attention regarding safety and behaviour.

Which information is needed depends on the location and its use. For example, a public playground requires different information than a schoolyard, fitness location or enclosed recreation area.

Information boards can also play an important role at sports and exercise areas. Users can be informed via the board about the available facilities, the use of sports equipment or the layout of an exercise route.

At outdoor fitness locations, for example, an information board can serve as a central starting point where visitors receive an explanation about the use of the location and the available possibilities.

When equipment has a specific way of being used, additional explanation may be desirable. An instruction board helps users quickly understand what is intended and how a facility can be used.

In this way, the information board forms a valuable addition to playground equipment, fitness facilities and other exercise elements where clear usage information is important.

On schoolyards, information boards can be used to make rules, play zones or other arrangements visible. They can, for example, be placed at the entrance or in a central place on the yard.

By presenting information clearly, more clarity is created for pupils, staff, parents and other users of the school grounds.

In public space, visitors must be able to understand independently how a location may be used. An information board can provide support in this.

Think of play areas in residential neighbourhoods, public sports fields, exercise parks and recreation areas. At these locations, a board can provide information about the use of the place and any points of attention or rules.

The position of an information board has a great deal of influence on visibility. A place at the entrance, a central walking route or right next to the facilities to which the information relates is often chosen.

A clearly placed board forms a logical information point before visitors enter the play or sports area.

An information board is not only functional, but also forms part of the overall appearance of an outdoor space. Design, dimensions and placement can therefore be tailored to the surroundings and the rest of the layout.

In this way, the board can match playground equipment, street furniture, sports facilities and other elements within the location.

Information boards can be combined well with other parts of a play or exercise area. Think of playground equipment, outdoor fitness, sports fields, street furniture, routing and other facilities.

By already taking information provision into account during the design, a coherent and user-friendly location is created.

When choosing an information board, it is important to look at the location, target group, desired information, visibility and placement.

W&H Sports can help think about the application of information boards within the overall sports or play environment. This way, the board does not just become a standalone element, but a functional part of the layout.

An information board can be used to inform visitors about rules, instructions for use, safety information and other practical information relating to the play area.

Information boards are suitable for, among other things, playgrounds, schoolyards, sports areas, exercise parks, recreation areas and public outdoor spaces.

That depends on the location. Think of game rules, instructions for use, age information, rules of conduct, contact information or other relevant information for users and visitors.
