According to the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), one-third of playground injuries result from incomplete or neglected maintenance, and 84% could be prevented with proper upkeep and supervision.
Routine maintenance keeps playgrounds fully functional, ensuring children continue to enjoy the physical, social, and cognitive benefits of play. Still, maintenance can feel like an overwhelming task. That’s why we offer helpful resources like our Playground Maintenance Guide and Playground Supervision Guide - so you can keep your play space in top condition with confidence and ease.
Why Playground Maintenance Matters
When children arrive at a playground, their first instinct is to dive right into play. In fact, 92.5% don’t pause to inspect the equipment first. That’s why regular inspections are essential - to catch potential issues before they become a larger concern.
To make playground upkeep simple and stress-free, we created the Playground Maintenance Guide. This free guidebook
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEM/STEAM) education doesn’t have to stop at the classroom door. In fact, some of the most powerful learning happens when students are moving, experimenting, and discovering through play.
With thoughtful design, a playground can become an outdoor learning environment, one that reinforces STEM and STEAM concepts while keeping play at the center. Whether you’re upgrading an existing space or planning a new school playground, here’s how to design a playground that aligns with your STEM/STEAM goals.
Why STEM & STEAM Belong on the Playground
STEM subjects often involve abstract ideas that can be difficult for students to grasp through traditional instruction alone. Playgrounds offer something different: hands-on, real-world experiences that make learning tangible. Research shows that play-based learning acknowledges children's natural curiosity while keeping education at the forefront.
When STEM and STEAM concepts are embedded into play,
In the mid-90s, coffee shops stopped trying to just sell coffee. They started to sell the idea of belonging.
One national coffee chain built their brand around a simple but powerful idea: every one of their shops should be a “third place”—that space between home and work where people could slow down, connect, and feel part of something larger.
And for a while, it worked. Who could resist the smell of espresso, the low hum of conversation, and the feeling of togetherness? Coffee shops became the default gathering place for a generation that was losing real community.
But there was a catch. You had to buy your seat.
That “third place” was always transactional. Your permission to linger came with a $6 coffee and a Wi-Fi code. It was connection…curated, commercialized, and contained within four branded walls.
The Real Third Place Has Been Here All Along
Parks were the first third place. Long before baristas figured out how to monetize comfort, cities and towns built spaces where people could
