Small City

Need a quick snack?

Perhaps you need to get some groceries and fill up?

We have the stop for you!







Pesky people in your town not following safety signs, like the speed limit?

Why not have a police station so catch law breakers in the act!

WHAT FUN!!

I Want to Ride The Bulldozer

I'm sitting in my bulldozer moving some dirt around, just thinking to myself, “Man do I have a lot of dirt to move, better get to work.” Vroom. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. Chuga Chuga Chuga. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. Then I hear a voice “Richard! Time to go!” I yell back “BUUUTTTT MOM! I'm WORKING!” Mom says “You can come tomorrow and move more dirt.” I sigh “Ok”. I get out of my bulldozer and head home with my mother.

Imagination like that can be nurture at the playground. 

Perhaps your children will grow up to be a.........

Swing Away!

What is a playground without a swing. Most playgrounds have swing sets. It is one of the most recognizable asset that people know. Swings are fun, but did you know that also provide exercise. When you move your legs to gain momentum, you are using your upper legs and your abdominal muscles. Just remember to always be safe. Swing away and enjoy your fun exercise.

Healthy Children

The benefits of having an active childhood.

Having an active childhood can lead to a healthy adulthood.
When kids are active, their bodies can do the things they want and need them to do. Why?

Because regular exercise provides these benefits. Strong muscles and bones, weight control, decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and better sleep habits. Healthy, physically active kids also are more likely to be academically motivated, alert, and successful. And physical competence builds self-esteem at every age.

What better way to have active childhood, but to go to a playground. Childforms offers a wide verity of play areas to fit your needs.

The Layout

The Layout of a Playground can be Important.

Whenever wanting to observe most of the action in the playground, it might be frustrating when parents' sight lines are take off by poorly placed elements. This is a bit of playground planning that is frequently overlooked, but essential to how parents choose play spaces. For families who will be visiting the play ground with numerous children, to be able to monitor all children from a single vantage point is essential.

Thoughtfully placed, age appropriate elements will also be key to a layout. It would not make sense to put a climbing wall surface where a mature child could jump from and get close to a spot designed for younger children, which could cause injury. Producing specific areas for younger and older children alike helps to keep security risks to a minimum, and parents are happy once you understand each of their children have their area to enjoy.

Playground Boarders!

What can be used with Playground Boarders? Other then the obvious that they create a safe play area around playgrounds. Playground Boarders can also be used for creating sandboxes. Playground Boarders contain the sand in within the boundaries of the boarders. This provides a fun and sandy play for children to play.

Playground Boarders can also be used to create your perfect garden. Flower or Vegetable, Playground Boarders can contain the stones, dirt and soil needed to watch your garden flourish.

Using Playground Boarders eliminates the need to use a tiller, which can be back breaking work. Just install the Playground Boarders on the ground, level out or fill in any gaps, and just add material you need.

Changing Playgrounds

Who could forget running around the playground when you were a child? From the monkey bars to the slide and seeing who could swing the highest. We can all remember what it was like. All the energy we burned and the friends we made. Playing helps teach children how to interact with one another, create friendships and navigate relationships, however, children whose disabilities keep them from using playgrounds and those opportunities can be lost.
There are new federal requirements (Americans with Disabilities Act) which are changing playground access. Public playgrounds are required to incorporate material and designs that offer children with disabilities the same play opportunities as the average children.

With the help of parents, communities and local government, new playgrounds are being redesigned so that every child can have the opportunity to make a friend.
