Children are the future masters of the city, and building a child-friendly city is the need for city development nowadays. Outdoor playground equipment is a window for children in the city to get in touch with nature, learn about it, and have fun and practice. Next, let's take a look at the layout and flooring materials of a non-powered outdoor playground. Here are some answers.


Here is the content list:

  • The layout of outdoor playground equipment.

  • Outdoor playground equipment flooring materials.


The layout of outdoor playground equipment.

The size of the anti-collision zone is determined by the type of equipment, the fall height of the equipment and involuntary movement, etc. The anti-collision zone of the involuntary movement area, such as the side and exit section of the slide. Insufficient anti-collision distance of outdoor playground equipment is a common problem in domestic children's playgrounds. The requirements for the collision avoidance area of slides, swings, rocking horses, and seesaws are the same in China and EU standards.


Outdoor playground equipment flooring materials.

Outdoor playground equipment flooring materials are the last protective barrier, and different standards provide detailed regulations on the types of floor cushioning materials and their installation thicknesses and critical fall heights. Commonly used flooring materials include rubber and plastic materials, sand, gravel, wood chips, and bark. The national standard and the European standard on the floor material critical fall height requirements are consistent, and the difference with the American standard is mainly reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, the same material thickness of different material types is different. For sand, gravel, wood chips, and bark, the four types of flooring materials, the national standard, and the European standard are the same, such as the material thickness of 200mm, the critical fall height of the four materials are 2,000mm, while the American standard, the material thickness of 230mm, the critical height of the allowed installation is bark > wood chips > gravel > sand, the American standard reflects the different buffering performance of these four types of materials. On the other hand, the difference in installation thickness of the same material type is different. The American standard stipulates that the critical fall height of sand with 230mm thickness is 1,220mm, while the critical height of sand with 200mm thickness in the national and European standards is 2,000mm, which is much higher than the allowable critical fall height in the American standard. Foreign scholars' research on the buffering performance of ground materials shows that the buffering performance of different materials varies, with rubber and plastic materials having the best buffering performance, while gravel is not recommended as a ground buffering material. In addition, the difference in critical height of different materials and thicknesses needs to be further tested and analyzed by scholars and research institutions to provide a more scientific basis for the improvement of the standard.
