One of the major benefits of a backyard play area is that you can control the environment. Unlike public playgrounds, you can limit the people who use your play area, thus reducing the spread of germs and limiting accidents. When gathering ideas for your backyard play area your main concern should be safety. Make sure all products, materials and equipment you select are of the highest quality and have proven that they are indeed safe.

• Pro Tip: When creating a kid-friendly yard, keep play areas separate from adult areas, ensure that they are visible from inside and outside and place them far out in the yard for the best visibility.
