Designs

We decided to build a playground which consists of:
- 3 Slides
- 1 Concave tunnel slide
- 1 Swing
- Sponge ball corner
- Sheltered roof

The 3 slides are made from plastic. At the bottom of each slide there is a sponge mat. This is to let the children land comfortably.

The tunnel slide a concave one because some percentage of the children are blind or are deaf, so if any of them shouts, it will be easily heard.

A simple rope swing. Children should be accompanied by an adult while swinging.

The sponge ball corner is for the children to enjoy rolling about and throwing the balls about. Sponge is chosen because it is very soft and will not injure anyone if he/she is hit.

We shelter the roof because children can still play during rainy days.
