Design points of children's outdoor amusement space. Children don't want to go home!

The design of children's amusement space should not only take into account safety and fun, but also integrate the concept of education, combine teaching with fun, and promote the development of children's body and mind.

As the main element of happy children's amusement space, amusement equipments should first be attractive , suit for children of all ages and provide different activities. Secondly, these facilities also need to help children improve their social communication skills and quickly integrate into the unfamiliar environment.

Next, let's take a look at the key design points of outdoor amusement playground:

1. Space environment

1) Key design points - site structure

The site structure is the primary factor in the design of the park. Children prefer irregular shape objects, so designers can make full use of natural irregular shapes to arouse children's natural interest.

For example, children like imaginative adventure activities, such as getting lost and finding their location; rolling down the slope to release physical vitality; playing hide and seek in the undulating mountains or mountains.

2) Key design points - rest area

No matter how small a space is, a rest area should be set up, where children can sit quietly, relax or gather strength. It is also a space for children's to think and adjust.

In larger recreation spaces, it is a good idea to partition the rest area. The rest area doesn't need to be complicated. It may just be a row of benches or places that can block the wind and rain.

2. Element layout

1) Key design points - vegetation

Vegetation plays an important role in the design of outdoor recreation space, which improves the environment, aesthetics, interest and so on.

Plants can improve air quality. They are a powerful umbrella for rain and sunshine. Dense plants can keep out wind and reduce noise. At the same time, they are also a natural habitat for birds and other small animals.

2) Key design points - sand

Children enjoy playing with sand and mud at any time and anywhere, even adults. The playability of sand allows children to dig, build, carve, fill and empty, or knead it with water.

3) Key design points - playing with water

Water is a natural irritant for children. The different feelings of dry and wet objects, the state transformation of objects sinking and floating in the water, and the change of water temperature are enough to arouse great interest for children.

Although water is rarely used in amusement spaces, it is sometimes a good idea to introduce water manually when weather and resources permit.

4) Key points of design - compound amusement facilities

There is a trend in the design of amusement space: combine the traditional single function facilities with more complex modules and more facilities to form an overall amusement space.

In order to meet the different needs of children, a good amusement facility should be designed to be easy to adjust, while the complex facilities should be different in difficulty as much as possible.

5) Design points - shape

Imagination itself is the most important and precious pleasure of children. Ambiguous abstract things, such as a pile of stones or sand, and some chic gadgets, are far more attractive to children than those specific things.

3. Body perception

Children have the energy to actively participate in hearing, vision, touch and smell. At the same time, children can also understand how their own behavior causes external reactions in the experience, and they will try to understand these reactions.

1) Key design points - sound

Children are keen to make sound by beating or rubbing objects. Sound is a common phenomenon in nature. When a breeze blows, the leaves of plants and trees will make sound.

These are enough to make children happy. Children especially like the equipment that can interact with experiments. For children, it not only has entertainment function, but also has guiding significance.

2) Key design points - vision

Just like hearing, we can also design devices with visual images, such as magnifying glass, reflector, prism, kaleidoscope, overlapping film or color transparent film, which are enduring amusement elements.

3) Key design points - touch and texture experience

The ups and downs of laying materials encourage children to explore and compare soft and hard, dense and smooth, dry and wet, smooth and rough stuff.

4) Design points - smell

The sense of smell is different from other senses, which can make people impressive and have more experience in it. The smell and space design brought by planting fragrant plants and trees on both sides of the path in the amusement area can avoid getting lost and soothe the body and mind.

Good design reflects respect and intention. Every child is different, so their needs are diverse. All children should find their own happiness in the amusement space.
