Play Panels
Play Panels
Play panels are interactive playground features designed to encourage engagement, exploration and shared play. Caloo supplies play panels for schools, nurseries and community playgrounds, providing accessible activities that support sensory interaction and learning within outdoor environments.
Play panels can be installed as standalone features or incorporated into wider playground layouts, making them a flexible option for both new developments and refurbishment projects. They are commonly used in early years settings, inclusive playgrounds and areas where space is limited but meaningful play opportunities are required.
What Are Play Panels?
Play panels are interactive playground components that encourage children to engage through touch, movement and visual interaction. They are designed to support sensory play and learning activities, offering engaging features that can be used individually or in small groups.
Their design makes play panels suitable for a wide range of playground environments and user needs.
Supporting Sensory and Inclusive Play
Play panels are often used to support sensory play and inclusive playground design. They provide accessible play opportunities that can be enjoyed by children of different abilities, helping create play spaces that encourage shared use and interaction.
Their straightforward layout and interactive elements make them particularly suitable for inclusive and early years play areas.
Flexible Installation Options
Play panels can be installed in a variety of ways, including as standalone units or as part of a larger play area. Their compact design allows them to be used in smaller spaces or integrated alongside other playground equipment without dominating the layout.
This flexibility makes play panels a practical choice for schools and councils looking to maximise available space.
Integrated Playground Design and Installation
Caloo provides a free play space design service to support the integration of play panels into new or existing playgrounds. This service ensures panels are positioned effectively alongside other playground equipment to create balanced and engaging play spaces.
From design through to installation, Caloo delivers a complete playground equipment solution.
Combining Play Panels
Play panels are often combined with other playground equipment to create varied and engaging play environments. They work particularly well alongside equipment that supports sensory exploration and inclusive play.
Play panels are commonly installed alongside:
- Sensory Play
- Inclusive Playground
- Imaginative Play
- Playground Equipment
This approach helps create playgrounds that support a range of play styles within a single space.
