Outdoor Playground Equipment More Suitable For Summer

Summer is the peak season for outdoor playgrounds. The weather is hot and people are more inclined to participate in recreational activities with a cool feeling. In order to enhance the visitor experience, the playground needs to choose equipment that is more suitable for summer to increase interactivity, comfort and safety. This article will introduce several outdoor playground equipment that are most suitable for summer use to help investors and operators create more attractive playgrounds.

 

Types of outdoor playground equipment suitable for summer

1. Water park facilities: the best choice for coolness and refreshing

Water amusement equipment is the most popular project in summer, allowing tourists to enjoy coolness in hot weather. The following types of equipment are mainly recommended:

 

Water slide: a stimulating way of playing suitable for children and adults, common ones include straight slides, spiral slides and free fall slides.

Water climbing area: combines climbing, diving, sliding and other functions to enhance interactivity and challenge.

Surfing simulator: simulates real waves, allowing tourists to experience the fun of surfing in artificial waves.

Water fountain: suitable for parent-child interaction, children can play freely in water mist, fountains and water guns.

Rafting river/wave pool: provides slow drifting or simulated wave experience, suitable for the whole family to relax together.

 

2. Sunshade amusement equipment: reduce direct sunlight and improve comfort

In summer, long-term exposure to the sun may affect the experience of tourists, so amusement equipment with added sunshade facilities is more popular, such as:

 

Sunshade slide combination: install sunshades or sun umbrellas above traditional slides and climbing facilities to prevent the slide surface from overheating due to exposure.

Forest theme amusement area: use trees, vines and artificial sunshade nets to build a semi-enclosed amusement space so that children can play in a cool environment.

Pavilion rest area: provide shade for parents and tourists, and set up drinking water stations or canteens to improve the convenience of the playground.

 

3. Aerodynamic amusement equipment: Enhance air circulation and reduce the feeling of stuffiness

Amusement equipment with good air circulation can effectively reduce the feeling of stuffiness in summer and improve the comfort of tourists, such as:

 

Trampoline park: Outdoor trampolines combined with fans or natural wind allow children to bounce freely in an airy environment.

 

Wind tunnel experience area: Use strong wind to simulate the flight state, so that tourists can feel the extreme wind and cool experience in the hot summer.

 

Large swing/swing bridge: With the help of natural wind, let children enjoy the cool wind in the air.

 

4. Night amusement facilities: Avoid daytime high temperatures and extend business hours

In summer, the daytime temperature is high, and many amusement parks will adjust their business hours and increase the number of projects open at night. The following equipment is recommended:

Night slide: A slide with LED lights enhances the night play experience and attracts more tourists.

Light maze: Combines fluorescent, light strips and other elements to provide tourists with a unique night tour experience.

Nighttime open-air cinema: Set up projection screens and lawn chairs to allow visitors to watch movies on cool nights and enhance the versatility of the amusement park.

 

How to optimize the summer amusement park experience?

1. Strengthen shading and cooling measures

In high-temperature areas, add a mist cooling system and use a spray device to reduce the air temperature.

Use sunshade nets, pavilions and other methods to reduce direct sunlight and improve comfort.

Use sunscreen coatings on metal surfaces such as slides to avoid excessive temperatures due to exposure.

 

2. Add drinking water stations and rest areas

Install free drinking water stations at multiple locations in the amusement park to prevent visitors from getting heatstroke due to high temperatures.

Set up air-conditioned rest areas so that visitors have a place to cool down and rest after playing tired.

 

3. Choose high-temperature and sun-resistant amusement equipment materials

Choose sun-proof, waterproof, and high-temperature resistant materials, such as weather-resistant plastics and stainless steel, to ensure that the equipment is not easily damaged in high-temperature environments.

Choose lighter-colored equipment to reduce heat absorption and improve safety.

 

Summary

Summer is the golden time for outdoor amusement parks. Choosing the right amusement equipment can enhance the visitor experience and attract more traffic. Water amusement equipment, sunshade facilities, aerodynamic amusement equipment and night amusement projects are all popular choices in summer. At the same time, combined with cooling measures, drinking water stations, high temperature resistant materials and other optimization solutions, the comfort and safety of the amusement park can be effectively improved to ensure more successful summer operations.

For amusement park investors, seizing the business opportunities in the summer peak season and rationally arranging and optimizing amusement equipment will greatly improve visitor satisfaction and increase profitability.
