Features

• Communication Boards

Promote inclusivity at your playground with GameTime's Communication Sign. We partnered with Boardmaker, the leader in visual communication tools, to create a panel that makes it easy for everyone to communicate on the playground. Visitors can use the panel to identify the area or activity they want to experience, or describe how they are feeling to their peers. This panel also includes a full English alphabet for users to spell out more specific needs.

• Loose Rubber Safety Surfacing

2-5 Play Area

• Custom 2 To 5 Play Structure
• Expression Swing

Expression Swing is a GameTime exclusive and the industry's first playground swing that promotes intergenerational play as adults and children swing together. The patented face-to-face design features a bucket seat for children under five and a comfortable adult swing seat that allows a parent and child (or grandparent and grandchild) to interact with each other and experience one another's facial expressions while at play.

• Shadow Play Flower
• Discovery Play House

The unique A-frame style of this playhouse is the perfect cabin getaway for young imaginations. With a large countertop with traceable leaf patterns, a pretend fireplace, it also includes windows and seating areas for social play.

5-12 Play Area

• Custom 5 To 12 Structure
• Sensory Wave Spinning Seat
• Expression Tandem Swings

Expression Swing Tandem allows users ages 5 and up to swing face-to-face and eye-to-eye. Our patented design encourages social interaction between two children (or a child and adult) during play. It's a great way to provide multigenerational play on your playground.

• National Demonstration Site NDS-PlayOn

Betty Virgina Park design is a National Demonstration Site - Play On! Promoting Physical Activity!

CONGRATS! Betty Virgina Park is a National Demonstration Site for Play On! Promoting Physical Activity. Why a National Demonstration Site? High-quality outdoor play and recreation environments are essential to community health and wellness. Research indicates that when evidence-based design best practices are implemented with the built environment, then positive and measurable outcomes occur. PlayCore's National Demonstration Site program helps communities take advantage of this research to build meaningful environments, then measure their positive effect through data reporting and translation to help defend budgets and elevate outdoor recreation spaces as essential services.
