Children are naturally motivated and excited to play, which helps to promote their social, physical, cognitive, and creative development. That's why The World Health Organization recommends play as the primary form of exercise for children. All the physical and cognitive benefits of play are enhanced on our playgrounds, because our playgrounds are:
- Based on Research: At the KOMPAN Play Institute, we meticulously research the benefits of our designs on actual users and use real user feedback.
- Aimed at Child Development: Our playgrounds uniformly target cognitive and physical skills so that play is also educational and enriching.
- Customizable: We want children to get the most out of our playgrounds. That's why we work with you to design a playground that is best suited to your unique location and community.
- Safe and Long-Lasting: We proudly uphold global standards of sustainability and ethics from the sourcing of the materials to the long-lasting durability of the products; even to their sustainable disposal.
- Versatile: Great for both urban and natural environments, our playgrounds are designed to be vandalism-resistant and last for decades, backed by our warranty and service agreement.
- Universally Designed: KOMPAN playgrounds are designed to be accessible to all needs, all ages, and all skill levels. We encourage confidence through success and growth through challenge.

Innovative Products - The Key to More Play
Playgrounds have been identified as the place within parks where children expend the most energy, why KOMPAN Play Institute set out to examine the retention of children and their parents on a newly refurbished playground at Flag Pole Hill in Dallas, USA. The research included interviews with 177 adults and 50 children.
“The outdoor playground is great for my child’s health and important because of the ability to get outside and get fresh air!” stated an interviewed parent. The research done by the KOMPAN Play Institute shows that 98% of parents found playgrounds to be important and the main reasons are the positive influence on their children’s health and the fresh air. The new playground at Flag Pole Hill, that WOWs both children and parents, increased the use of the park by 77%.
73% of the parents stated that their main reason for visiting this playground was the unique products. Parents thereby indicate that for a playground to be attractive it is important to have unique play equipment for different age groups. A wide variety of play equipment ensures that the play area is fun and attractive for all ages and abilities.
