What does "Variable Density" have to do with playgrounds?
PlaySmart Playgrounds are Designed with Different Levels of Density

Many playground buyers look at details such as square footage and dimensions when deciding on which playground supplier is giving them the best deal. The truth is that such measures are of little value in determining the true quantity of play equipment being purchased.

Consider a plastic tube for instance. The actual play space inside of a 30” or even larger diameter tube is actually quite limited while the space that that tube takes up can be considerable. It is not uncommon for playground with a lot of plastic tubes to be wasting 40 to 60% of the cubic volume of the area that they are taking up. Just because the playground covers a great deal of floor space does not mean you are getting a great deal of “play space”. Plastic tubes, by their very nature, are unable to fully utilize any space because children can only play in the limited space inside them.

PlaySmart is one of only a very few playground suppliers that are actually capable of fully utilizing ALL of your available space. Our vast selection of play Events and creative design capability allow PlaySmart to use, not waste, your valuable space.

There also can be a great deal of difference in how Events and trails are used within a space. There are times when total utilization of space is not the most desirable alternative. For example, if an owner has a great deal of available space but not enough budget to fill it completely, it may be desirable to spread the equipment out for the visual effect of making the playground “look” larger than it really is.

The bottom line is that buyers need to be aware of the actual volume of play equipment that they are purchasing and not focus only on footprint and dimensions.
