Origins™

Natural playground equipment

Research shows that kids who play outside have more active imaginations. Enjoy lower stress levels and stronger immune systems. Are fitter and leaner. And have a greater respect for themselves, for others, and for the environment.¹

It’s research that’s too important to ignore. And that’s why we created Origins, the natural playground equipment that immerses kids in the restorative powers of nature from the safety and comfort of the playground.

It’s not just lifelike. It’s alive with real nature.

How do we create Origins’ natural look and feel? With play equipment that doubles as planters for real plants and flowers. With integrated playground designs that actually build play activities into (not just on top of) your site’s natural landscape. And with materials like our super durable PolyFiberCrete®, the patented, earth-toned material that blends in naturally with your environment, while providing the ultimate non-slip, high-traction playing surface.

Create a natural playground that’s built for all ages.

Your local Playworld Systems representative is your expert on natural playground design. Let us help you build an all-ages retreat for your entire community with a variety of natural playground experiences:

• GardenScapes™
  Kids and grown-ups can share teachable moments about plants—and the planet—in the play equipment that doubles as real planters.

• Boulders & Rope Climbers
  The natural look and feel of real rock climbing delivers a heart-pounding, strength-building workout for climbers of all ages and skill levels.

• T-Rex
  Kids’ imaginations blast through time as they climb, crawl, tunnel, and hide amongst the giant, lifelike dinosaur bones and eggs.

• Diggables
  Pre-schoolers become pint-sized archeologists with Diggables’ realistic, hands-on thrill of digging and scientific discovery.

Enjoy rock-solid durability with virtually no maintenance.

An Origins natural playground can withstand whatever kids or Mother Nature throw its way. Unlike glass fiber reinforced concrete or resin-based products, Boulders, T-Rex, and Diggables use the same tough PolyFiberCrete® material throughout, so they won’t wear through with heavy use. And GardenScapes products are built around GardenSoxx®, specially designed mesh “socks” that keep compost and plants neatly and easily contained.
