Slides

Slides have been an important part of playgrounds for years. They combine climbing, waiting, sliding and trying again in one simple but valuable play experience. Children are encouraged to stay active and develop their motor skills, balance and self-confidence through play.

W&H Sports supplies slides for municipalities, schools, childcare locations, recreation parks, playgrounds and public play areas. The slides can be used separately or combined with other play equipment within a complete play environment.

A good slide matches the age and developmental level of the user. For younger children, clear and lower slides are often suitable, while older children are looking for more challenge in height, speed or a combination with climbing sections.

By choosing the right slide, you create a playground that suits the target group and offers enough challenge for daily use.

A slide offers more than just sliding itself. Children climb up, practice their balance, wait their turn and decide for themselves how often they want to try again. This makes the slide a valuable play element for motor and social development.

For schools and public play areas, this is interesting because slides encourage active outdoor play and invite children to keep moving.

For young children, low and accessible slides are suitable. These designs offer fun play in a clear way and ensure that children can safely get acquainted with climbing and sliding.

This type of slide fits well with daycare centres, playground squares for toddlers and play areas for the youngest target group.

In public play areas, slides must be suitable for intensive use. They are used every day by different children and must fit within a safe, durable and low-maintenance layout.

W&H Sports is happy to think along about slides that match the location, age group, available space and the desired look of the play area.

Slides can be combined well with other play equipment. Think of climbing equipment, playhouses, balance equipment, rotating elements or complete play combinations. This creates a varied playground with multiple ways to move.

By combining different play functions, children are challenged to climb, balance, slide, discover and play together.

At schoolyards, slides are a recognizable and popular addition. During breaks, they offer children an active and low-threshold form of outdoor play. Especially in combination with climbing and balancing elements, a slide can contribute to a movement-friendly schoolyard.

W&H Sports can advise on which design suits the available space, age group and desired play value.

Slides are also suitable for recreation parks, holiday parks and playgrounds. They quickly attract children’s attention and can be used as a standalone unit or as part of a larger play concept.

For this type of location, it is important that the slide is sturdy, attractive and suitable for intensive use by changing visitors.

When it comes to slides, safety is an important point to consider. The required free space, fall height and surface depend on the design and placement of the equipment.

Depending on the type of slide, an impact-damping surface may be required. W&H Sports can advise on the correct placement, safety space and surface for a safe play environment.
