In childhood, the favorite place of any of us was a children's playground with a carousel, a swing, a sandbox and other interesting devices. Moreover, spending time in this amazing, never bothering place was not boring even in solitude. What can we say about a fun company of friends, when you can constantly come up with new interesting games and so do not want to go home. If you have a summer cottage, it is necessary to equip a playground for children on its territory - here the kids will be busy with their own affairs, without distracting parents who are busy in the garden. Playgrounds for summer cottages are a great joy for children, and outdoor games will benefit any child.
The site needs to be created taking into account the age of the child. It’s easy for the baby to equip a place for games - the playground can be made up of ready-made things - an inflatable children's pool, a folding tent, a small table, a drawing bench and a beach umbrella.

Children's playgrounds for summer cottages should be located in a place convenient for children, where there is both sun and shadow. It’s good to choose a place that is protected from the wind, and quite spacious to provide space for games.
The playground should not be located far from home so that children are always in front of their parents. It should not be equipped near various outbuildings where garden equipment is stored - everyone knows children's curiosity.
Perhaps, when creating a site, you will be helped by such a scheme, where the location of the playground and other summer cottage objects is clearly presented.
The territory for games should be located on level ground so that children do not get injured by clinging to roots sticking out of the ground, or bumps. The small area that you will set aside for the site needs to be cleaned of debris, small stones, weeds. It is good if the platform is covered with soft grass, on which you can run barefoot.
It is better to place the playground away from plants with thorns - raspberry, blackberry, rosary, etc. On the sports ground, you can equip the floor with rubber tiles, it is comfortable, soft, non-hazardous, and looks very aesthetically pleasing.
