When we asked our sales reps what their favourite piece of accessible equipment was, the number one answer was the Burke 360 Loop slide collection – and with good reason! It’s specially designed so kids can transfer, climb, slide, and repeat with ease. Together with the 360 Loop Connection, it creates a seamless pathway to link the slide with ground-level play.

Here’s what some of our reps had to say:

“No one wants to feel left out on the playground, and the 360 Loop Connection Slide removes those barriers so kids can play and participate independently. It’s a lot of fun for a lot of kids!” - Austin Wood, British Columbia (Lower mainland and Vancouver Island)

“I really like it because it means kids can continue participating in play without needing to constantly transfer between their wheelchair and playground equipment.” - Brenden Kjelgren, British Columbia (Interior)

“The 360 Loop slide is my favourite piece of accessible equipment because it’s accessible without you realizing it. Kids can transition on and off the structure by themselves more easily, so they can be full participants in side-by-side play and join in the playground adventures.” - Shane Wall, Manitoba and Ontario

Wherever you are in Canada, if you’re looking to build a new park or want to add more accessible equipment to your local playground – like the Orbit, Volta, and 360 Loop – we have reps coast to coast. They’ll help you through the whole process from grant writing to design to installation, so the only circles you’ll be doing will be on your new spinner! https://playquest.ca/contact/

Did you like getting dizzy on the merry-go-round as a kid? A typical playground staple, it can be a lot of fun but not always accessible. Thankfully, there’s a solution for that; the ‘Inclusive Orbit’ from Burke. For our Saskatchewan sales representative Cody Vollman, it’s one of his favourite pieces of accessible equipment because of the easy entry onto the platform and how it sits flush into the ground, meaning kids of all ages and abilities can go for a spin!

Want to add an Inclusive Orbit (or other accessible equipment) to your playground? If you’re in Saskatchewan, reach out to Cody to find out more: [email protected]

Layout plays a big part in playground accessibility. A good layout will allow kids to move around, between, and onto play structures more easily – especially with mobility aids – while creating zones of age and ability-appropriate challenges. Wide paths, ground level sensory play, ramps, and transfer-friendly equipment and space all factor into creating an accessible and enriching experience.

Playgrounds are designed to be welcoming for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background. When the physical barriers to play are removed, it can also remove the social barriers, making playtime more positive and enjoyable, helping to improve mental and emotional health.

We can help you design an accessible layout for your playground project! https://playquest.ca/contact/

It’s National Accessibility Week! From footing to equipment, there are lots of ways to make playgrounds and splash parks accessible so more people can use them.

Starting with footing – if you think running in the sand is hard, try pushing a stroller, walker, or wheelchair. One of the best options for accessible playgrounds is rubber surfacing because it offers great shock absorption, and the smoothness allows wheels to roll and spin more easily.

If you’re interested in building or upgrading your local playground to be more accessible, we can help! Reach out to your local PlayQuest representative: https://playquest.ca/contact/

Check out some of the parks we’ve installed rubber surfacing in:
Second Divison Playground, Skidegate, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia
Kensington School, Edmonton, Alberta (Spoiler alert: This park features one of our rep’s favourite pieces of equipment! Can you guess what it is?)

Today is International Day of Families and this year’s focus is “Families, Inequalities, and Child Wellbeing.” Family plays one of, if not, the most important role in a child’s social development. Households without adequate support systems, especially those with young children, are more likely to face setbacks or risk experiencing poverty which can have long-term impacts on a child’s health, education, and wellbeing. Inequalities such as gender, race, and disability can further compound these challenges.

Playgrounds are one of the few places where children can interact freely with others and the main goal is having fun together and developing their skills. They offer an unrestricted meeting place for communities to come together and support each other. For communities that are underfunded or underserved, there are grants available that can provide the means to building or improving these spaces, and we can help: https://playquest.ca/planning/playground-grants-and-funding/

Over the past year, we’ve been working with the Okanagan Indian Band (OKIB) in Vernon to build two new playgrounds. In September, we built one for their new grade school and this past March, we finished one for their early learning preschool.

Featuring equipment from Burke and Eskair, the playgrounds have been designed with accessibility and cultural connection in mind, which is reflected in the rubber surfacing featuring paw prints, fish, and colours of land, sand, and sky in the Okanagan Valley.

We hope the kids of OKIB enjoy their new playgrounds in and out of school!

If your school needs a new playground, we can help make it happen. Get in touch with the PlayQuest team member from your province: https://playquest.ca/contact/

Today is the National Day of Mourning for workers who have been injured or lost their life due to a workplace tragedy. Marked annually, we honour those whose lives have been inextricably changed or lost while calling for organizations to collectively renew and improve their commitments to health and safety in the workplace.

Safety is a core part of our company – not just for kids, but for those involved in the construction and building process. We support education and training for our employees to proactively recognize potential hazards and help prevent future accidents because we want people to feel safe, valued, and thrive – on and off the equipment.

The end of National Playground Safety Week doesn’t mean it’s time to play recklessly! Safety is an everyday practice, no matter what age or time of year, which leads us to our last tip – age-appropriate equipment.

Not every child grows or develops at the same rate and using equipment that is suitable for their mental and physical capabilities can help prevent injuries while supporting their motor skills and muscle strength. Playgrounds are built to cater to the typical needs, likes, and abilities of certain age ranges, but it’s up to the supervising grownup to determine whether or not something is safe for the child and be there to assist them when they are ready to try equipment that’s new to them.

As kids get older, they can also be taught safer techniques to help break their falls like tucking and rolling so when they do play on bigger, new or unknown equipment, they can potentially prevent injuries or concussions.

Summer is just around the corner which means more daylight for play. Remember your safety tips as you get outside more and most importantly, have fun!

We all have a part to play in playground safety! Today’s National Playground Safety Week tip is about supervision.

Just like the playground patrol group, active supervision during play is equally as important. At school, supervisors and teachers responsible for monitoring kids should be trained in proper playground supervision and safety so they can intervene and accurately report when accidents do happen. For parents, caregivers, and other child-minders, paying attention to what is happening on the playground allows for a much quicker response time to prevent or step in if a dangerous situation arises, including bullying or roughhousing.

Supervision starts before a child even gets on to the playground by checking for temperature – especially on metal – to make sure it’s not too hot or cold, and there are no hazards present on or around the equipment or surfacing.

When kids need a break from playing, we offer a variety of site and park furnishings to give you a spot to rest and gather too: https://playquest.ca/site-park-furnishings/

What are your playground supervisory tips to keep everyone safe while having fun?

Equipment is what makes a playground fun! But what happens when it’s no longer safe?

Our National Playground Safety Week tip of the day is about maintenance and inspection.

Not only does surfacing need to be annually inspected, but playgrounds should undergo monthly inspections for any loose or broken equipment, missing bolts or fasteners, and other hazards. If a piece of equipment seems unsafe or brakes, let the playground owner know as soon as possible so it can be repaired to help prevent any injuries or further damage.

Some communities even set up playground patrol groups where a team of adults take turns doing intermittent equipment checks and educating others about how to stay safe while playing. It's a great way to encourage safety while building community.

The patrol group can also help advocate for when equipment does need to be replaced, and there are a number of grants and funding available that we can help you with during the process: https://playquest.ca/planning/
