Multiplay Units (MPU's)
Multiplay units are large playground structures designed to combine multiple play activities into a single piece of equipment. Caloo supplies multiplay units for schools, parks and community playgrounds, providing engaging play features that encourage shared use and interaction.
Often used as the central feature of a playground, multiplay units typically include climbing elements, platforms and slides, allowing several children to play at the same time. They are well suited to new playground developments and refurbishment projects where a strong focal point is required.
What Are Multiplay Units?
Multiplay units are playground structures that combine several play features within one unit. These structures are designed to support climbing, movement and interactive play, making them suitable for shared play environments where multiple users can play together.
Their size and layout make multiplay units a popular choice for playgrounds that require a central play feature.
Multiplay Units as Playground Centrepieces
Multiplay units are commonly used as the main attraction within a playground due to their visual impact and ability to accommodate multiple users at once. When positioned as a centrepiece, they help organise the surrounding play space and create a clear focal point for activity.
This makes multiplay units particularly suitable for schools and community playgrounds with defined play areas.
