Encouraging children to play outside can be difficult, especially when your backyard is just an empty patch of grass. Investing in a few family-friendly entertainment solutions can help you entice your child to get more exercise. The right swing set, trampoline, or sandbox can also encourage the child to be more social, inviting friends or family to play with them.

While turning your backyard into an adventure may sound hard, professional builders can make it a breeze. Here are just a few great examples of ways you can transform your backyard.

Swing Sets

When people think of backyard fun for kids, the first thing that comes to mind is a swing set. There are several different varieties available that can help you get exactly what your child wants. Look for a company that offers a wide selection of inventory that includes single swings, classic sets, and beautiful wooden swing sets with attached clubhouses.

Before you buy your ideal swing set, you will need to prepare your backyard. The swing set needs to be installed on level ground. You can swing by Funscapes Backyard Entertainment Solutions to get a better idea of what they should look like once installed. While you can install over grass, it is often recommended that a shock-absorbing padding is installed first to improve safety, especially if young children are using the set.

Trampolines


Trampolines are a great way to encourage exercise among children of all ages. While swing sets are very versatile, older children and teenagers will outgrow them. However, it is hard to ignore the fun of a large trampoline. While trampolines require slightly more care than a swing set, they are a great option for large and growing families. If you want to get the most out of your investment, select a trampoline that is large enough for adults to bounce on. Ours even has a basketball goal to make it even more fun!

Before you or your children jump, consider their safety. Make sure the trampoline is level on the ground. While you don’t have to install shock-absorbing padding below the trampoline, you should consider adding padding to the edges. Younger children may also appreciate a durable net to help keep them from falling off. 

Sandboxes

When people think of backyard playsets, they don’t usually think of small sandboxes. The truth is that the right sandbox can provide hours of entertainment for your child. Like other outdoor entertainment options, sandboxes come in many shapes and sizes. While infants may adore small sandboxes, many parents purchase medium or large-sized boxes so the child can play for years.

Another option is to combine a sandbox with a swing set. Instead of using shock-absorbing padding, some parents use sand to soften the ground below the swing set. While this does improve safety slightly, the sand is more for entertainment purposes than for protection. This is still a great option for those who want to save space or for a child who loves playing in the sand at the beach.

Work with a quality outdoor play equipment specialist that loves building swing sets, trampolines, and sandboxes that provide hours of family-friendly entertainment. Work with them to learn how you can create the perfect outdoor entertainment for your growing family.
