Trampolines have always been a popular addition in any playground, providing hours of fun, exercise and outdoor activity for all ages. In-ground trampolines have gained popularity in recent years for their safety benefits and clean appearance. This article will explore the advantages and disadvantages of playground trampolines in the ground, compare them to traditional above-ground trampolines and highlight some of the in-ground trampolines available from Playground Centre.
Why Choose In-Ground Trampolines?
Safety
One of the primary reasons parents or councils choose in-ground trampolines is safety. Unlike above-ground trampolines, which require ladders and are elevated several feet off the ground, in-ground trampolines are level with the ground. This design significantly reduces the risk of falls, as children do not need to climb up or down. In-ground trampolines can also be installed with a surrounding safety net or barrier to further prevent accidental falls for an extra safe play environment.
Aesthetic Appeal
In-ground trampolines don't take away from the landscape of a playground, as they blend in with the ground compared to the bulky above-ground models. They can be easily integrated into the design of outdoor spaces without obstructing views and with a wide range of colour choices and motifs at Playground Centre, you can pick one that suits the colour scheme and theme of your playspace. For landscape designers, this can be a significant advantage.
Accessibility
In-ground trampolines are more accessible for all ages and abilities. The ground-level entry makes it easier for young children, elderly individuals and those with mobility challenges to use the trampoline. This inclusivity allows everyone to enjoy the fun and health benefits of trampolines, which creates a more inclusive play environment.
Playground Centre's In-Ground Trampolines
Playground Centre offers a range of high-quality in-ground trampolines with some of the standout ranges including:
Colour Tramps
Colour tramps are vibrant coloured trampolines, featuring a variety of colours that excite children and add a splash of fun to any playground or backyard. The colourful design can encourage children to jump on the trampoline and partake in more physical activity, which in turn encourages them to spend more time outdoors.
