Budget: $100,000 Designing a Playground Location: We aim to situate the park behind a school to ensure that the playground is easily visible to all children and readily accessible. Ideally, this location would be in a suburban area and would have many trees around. The primary developmental goals of this playground are to foster the expansion and integration of children's creativity through hands-on play and to provide a sense of relaxation for children engaging in various activities. Itemized Budget: ltems Price (for one) How many purchased Total Justification $6,000 2 $12,000 There will be two slides. A smaller one and a larger one. The larger one will be at the very top of the playground structure. The reason for this is because it will follow the playgrounds flow (Moreno, 2017). When the kid finally reaches the top of the playground they will have that feeling of relief of getting to slide down. $6,000 $6,000 This swing set will be built for everyone. It will include the normal swings, infant swings, as well as the accessible swings. This set will create zones and space for all children (Moreno, 2017) $1,000 $2,000 Monkey bars are a zone where your energy level is all the way up. This area of the playground is very active and loud, this is where children use their energy the most and enjoy being challenged — Monkey bars Rock climbing wall $6,500 $6,500 The rock climbing wall allows the children to get creative as they have to find their own route to go up in the most efficient way possible. They have the ability to think creatively to find the best way to the top. “A good playground should encourage and trust children’s

creativity to take the lead” (Moreno, 2017) $2,400 $4,800 The seesaw is designed for intersections. 4 people need to use the seesaw at a time for it to work, this item connects the children as it gets them to work together and have fun. “Look for opportunities where children of different abilities end up interacting and playing together” (Moreno, 2017), this seesaw brings together all types of children. Drinking fountain $4,000 $4,000 It is important for everyone to be hydrated while having fun. So we would install this water founder with three different levels, higher for adults, midlevel for children, and low for pets like dogs. Steel megaphone $300 $900 Sensory play. This will help children talk and listen to one another which will build connections and allow children to be secretive. Picnic Tables $400 $2,000 Including lots of table space in the park will allow for parents and guardians to sit back and enjoy the ride! It is important that children get their own sense of play and not being watched 24/7 so they can let loose. Having these benches will encourage the parents and guardians to sit (Hyndman, 2015) Spring riders $2000 $2000 The spring rider is a little secret/surprise for children new to the park. As they wander around they will bump into one of the spring riders which will be extremely enjoyable for any age. $500 $500 The ramp for entering the playground is extremely important as it is needed for older adults accompanying their children/grandchildren. Along with this other children may need it as

well in the case they have a disability. X and O’s panel $600 1 $600 This will be for the older children who want to apply their knowledge and integrate it into play. Allowing children to play again one another and stimulating by being able to turn each one Rubber ground $15,000 The rubber ground is important surfacing (1000 because it ensures a safer space square ft) for children. We all know that falls are bound to happen when playing but when we have this base layer itll help children with critical injuries as well as prevent them. Installation $10,000 Shipping $10,000 Used: $80,000 Conclusion: In summary, addressing all the essential aspects of playground development is crucial for the successful establishment of an adventure-filled play area. Our diverse structures cater to children of all ages and preferences, whether they seek a relaxed environment or an energetic space to run and play freely. In today's world, it may seem like appearance is everything, but the reality is that kids prioritize fun over aesthetics, as highlighted by Staempfi (2009). Our intention is to convey this emphasis on enjoyment while also underscoring the importance of safety measures.
