Playground Equipment Shady Sands



**Playground Equipment Shady Sands brings shade and play together in one 5-12 age structure -- and that combination is harder to find than you'd think.** A lot of commercial playgrounds leave kids baking in the sun, but this one is designed with comfort built in alongside the climbing, sliding, and interactive features. It handles 36-43 kids at once, has an 84" fall height, and requires a use zone of 34' 3" x 46' 8". Meets ASTM F1487 and CPSC #325 safety standards.

BEST FOR: I'd recommend the Shady Sands for parks and schools where sun exposure is a concern. If parents and teachers are always hunting for shade, a structure that incorporates it means kids stay outside longer. With room for 36-43 kids, it works well for busy elementary schools and community parks that need high capacity without spreading across a huge footprint.

What Makes the Playground Equipment Shady Sands Stand Out?

Here's the thing about the Playground Equipment Shady Sands -- most playgrounds treat shade as an afterthought. You build the structure, then bolt on a canopy or hope there's a tree nearby. This one integrates shade into the design itself, so kids get protection from the sun while they're playing, not just when they stop. For the 5-12 age range, that means longer outdoor play sessions before anyone overheats or gets a sunburn. The 36-43 kid capacity is solid for a mid-size structure, and the mix of activities keeps groups spread out.

You'll need roughly 34 by 47 feet for the use zone, and with an 84" fall height, make sure your safety surfacing is rated accordingly -- we can help you figure out the right depth for poured rubber or engineered wood fiber.
