Slides
Slides are a core feature of many outdoor playgrounds, providing a simple and engaging form of active play. Caloo supplies playground slides for schools, nurseries, parks and community spaces, offering durable outdoor equipment that supports movement and enjoyment within shared play environments.
Playground slides can be installed as standalone features or incorporated into wider playground layouts. They are commonly included within both early years play areas and larger playground schemes, providing a familiar and accessible play experience for a wide range of users.
What Are Playground Slides?
Playground slides are outdoor play features designed to provide descending movement as part of active play. Slides are typically accessed via steps, platforms or climbing elements and are used as part of free play within outdoor environments.
They are a popular inclusion in playgrounds due to their simplicity and compatibility with a wide range of play equipment.
Supporting Active Outdoor Play
Slides encourage active play by offering a clear and engaging movement experience. They are often used alongside climbing or access features, allowing children to combine different types of movement within the same play area.
This makes slides a versatile addition to playgrounds of varying sizes and layouts.
Slides Within Playground Layouts
Slides are frequently incorporated into larger playground designs, either as individual units or as part of combined play structures.
Slides are commonly included within:
- Multiplay Units
This approach allows slides to form part of more complex play arrangements while maintaining ease of access and flow within the playground.
Integrated Playground Design and Installation
Caloo provides a free play space design service to support the integration of slides into new or existing playgrounds. This service helps ensure slides are positioned effectively alongside other playground features to create safe, practical and engaging layouts.
From design through to installation, Caloo delivers a complete playground equipment solution.
Slides within Playgrounds
Slides are often combined with other playground equipment to create balanced and varied play spaces. They work particularly well alongside equipment that supports climbing, interaction and movement.
Slides are commonly installed alongside:
- Clamber Stacks
- Play Panels
- Swings
- Playground Equipment
This combination helps create playgrounds that offer a range of play experiences within a single outdoor space.
