01 Nov 2024
Planning a playground on a difficult or complex site? Whether you’re a school with minimal space or a landscape architect dealing with a sloped site, adventure+ has pulled together some tips to help you maximise the play value in these difficult situations.
You may not know that your site presents some difficulties in building a playground. So, before you embark on the journey, we recommend reading this article and requesting a site assessment to identify if your site has site constraints that need to be managed.
A challenging site for a play area can be a small one, a sloped site, or even a site with existing shade sails. Another common complex site is an awkwardly shaped or linear play area. 
These sites shouldn’t prevent you from getting an excellent playground that provides a lot of fun for children. But because of Australian standards, a small area, for example, must be carefully assessed to ensure you get the most play value out of the space.
