Merry Go Round

6' Diameter / Red/Yellow

$3,879.70

The Merry Go Round from SportsPlay brings one of the most recognizable playground experiences to today's commercial outdoor play environments. Designed for children ages 5–12, this classic freestanding spinner creates an exciting group activity where children can ride together, experience rotational movement, and enjoy the kind of social playground fun that has made merry-go-rounds a favorite for generations.

Spinning adds a completely different type of movement to a playground than climbing, sliding, or swinging. As the merry-go-round rotates, children respond to changes in motion and speed while using balance, coordination, core stability, and body awareness to maintain their position. This dynamic movement adds valuable variety to an outdoor play environment.

The Merry Go Round is also designed around group play. Depending on the selected size, it can accommodate approximately 8 to 16 children at once, giving children an opportunity to share the experience with friends. Group spinning naturally encourages communication, cooperation, turn-taking, and social interaction while creating plenty of opportunities for laughter and active outdoor fun.

For durability and everyday performance, the Merry Go Round features a powder-coated punched-steel deck. The perforated design allows water to drain through the platform while providing secure footing for riders. A built-in governor helps control speed, and shaft lubrication contributes to smooth operation during repeated commercial use.

With 6-foot, 8-foot, and 10-foot diameter options available, facilities can select the configuration that best fits their playground space and anticipated capacity. For elementary schools, child care centers with school-age programs, parks, churches, and recreation facilities, the SportsPlay Merry Go Round provides a classic way to add high-interest spinning and group play to the playground.

Off-loading is the customer’s responsibility. These items are heavy and may require equipment such as a skid-steer loader or forklift, which must be provided by the customer.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

FAQs

What are the payment requirements for an order?

Full payment is typically required upfront due to the custom nature of many products. Exceptions can be made for governmental entities through approved purchase orders. All payments must be received prior to the start of installation.

Are installation services available?

Installation services are available for commercial playground projects. A qualified and insured professional can be arranged to handle the setup, and quotes are provided upon request. The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient installation process from start to finish.

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

Expedited shipping is not currently available. Due to the size and nature of playground LTL shipments, most freight carriers are unable to guarantee faster delivery. Unless otherwise noted, all products ship according to the estimated lead times listed on each product page.

How is the estimated lead time calculated?

Estimated lead time refers to the amount of time it typically takes for a product to be prepared and shipped after an order is placed. For many commercial playground items, manufacturing begins only once the order is received. For example, if the lead time is listed as 8 to 10 weeks, that means it will take approximately8 to 10 weeks for the product to be manufactured, packaged, and shipped from the warehouse.
