Megan from SportsPlay is a versatile commercial playground structure designed to provide active, imaginative, and social play for children ages 2–12. With 10 total play events—seven elevated and three ground-level—Megan combines climbing, sliding, crawling, interactive activities, and gathering spaces into one engaging playground system.
Children can challenge their developing physical abilities with both a caterpillar climber and vertical climber. These activities encourage reaching, stepping, gripping, and coordinated full-body movement while helping develop strength, balance, motor planning, spatial awareness, and confidence.
A crawl tunnel adds another movement experience as children travel between areas of the structure. Crawling encourages bilateral coordination, body awareness, and motor planning while adding an element of exploration and adventure to the playground.
Once elevated, children can choose between a double slide and a 90-degree slide. The two different sliding experiences encourage repeat play while helping create multiple routes through the structure. Two platforms provide additional space for children to navigate, gather, and interact with friends.
Megan also incorporates activities that extend beyond gross motor play. A tic-tac-toe panel encourages problem-solving, turn-taking, and social interaction, while the bench panel creates a ground-level place for children to gather, pause, and incorporate imaginative play into their outdoor experience.
A transfer station provides an accessible route into the elevated structure, helping create additional opportunities for children with varying abilities to engage with the playground.
