New standard to help minimise risks at trampoline parks

The trampoline park industry in Australia has grown from a few centres in 2012 to over 80 open today. With this increase in popularity comes a higher chance of injury, and a greater role for standards to play in minimising risks that might lead to such injuries.

Sydney Children’s Hospital conducted a study of 40 trampoline park related injuries and found that 55% of patients had a soft tissue injury or sprain and 37.5% had a fractured bone(s). Causes of injuries included awkward landings on the bed, larger children bouncing alongside smaller children, and attempted somersaults or flips.   
Through collaboration with industry, government, academic and consumer groups, Standards Australia recently published a new Australian Standard, AS 5159.1:2018, Trampoline park facilities, Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods.

There has been a lot of media coverage lately regarding poor safety standards within some trampoline parks, so we thought we’d take a second to talk about how seriously we take your safety at Imagination Play

All of our trampoline park designs are approved by the Australian Trampoline Park Association (ATPA), which is an independent body established to set and govern safety standards within the trampoline park industry. Imagination Play are proud to be approved by the ATPA because we believe that we have a responsibility to our customers to make their experience with us as fun and as safe as possible.

Everything about our Trampoline parks – from the layout and development have been established with safety as our number one priority. We are fully compliant with all elements of the
Australian Industry Standard, unlike many of our competitors who fail to meet such standards.

ARCHITECTURE IS FUN

Categories:
} elseif (is_singular('product')) { foreach((get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' )) as $category) { echo ''; echo $category->name; echo " ? "; } } else{ Architect playground

 

Arguably the most talked about design in Australia!

A mammoth task from the team at Imagination Play and Architects EAT for our creativity but we absolutely nailed it and the feedback is just one word… WOW!!!

 

Imagination Play had the exciting opportunity to be involved in developing Australia’s biggest indoor playground named Rabbit Hole, using multiple themes from a vast range of products including custom-made elements to create the most exciting and vibrant playcentre the company has designed to date.
 
Rabbit Hole Playcentre, situated in Braybrook, Victoria was designed to be a wonderland for children to explore the imagination of each child as they visit the different “lands” throughout the playspace. The range of unique theme lands to investigate and encourage the children to engage in play, socialisation and imagination.
 
The playcentre consists of a six metre high Space World for the children to challenge themselves in a world where they can blast off to the stars. They will participate in an exciting space adventure as they scramble through tunnels and uneven platforms, going higher and higher up the multiple-level structure.
 
The Moonwalk is designed with colourful spongy rubber mounds that allow the children to feel as though they are walking through zero gravity, so that they can explore space and the wonders of the universe.
 

The Enchanted Forest will mesmerise the children as they run through the rainforest, dodging the tall grass pommels, or climbing the treetops from tree pod to tree pod. 

In Babylon area, children are sent into a mystical tower where they have the choice to speed down a large clear tube slide or visit the connecting Enchanted Forest tree tops.
 
The kids can visit the Funfair area, an illuminated brightly-coloured circus tent where they can be entertained by live performers or test out their cooking skills and learn new recipes in the Bakehaus kitchen.
 
The Sea World consists of three giant beach huts with interconnecting multiple ramps and slides of different varieties.
 

The children can also challenge themselves by climbing the impressive rock wall, fitted with belay systems to ensure the children’s safety. Or they can choose to climb through the rabbit holes and slide into their allocated party room. 

Rabbit Hole Playcentre has an area to suit all ages and abilities, even including toddlers who can play in the pirate ship positioned in the middle of the playcentre. The ship even has a rope climber for the children to climb onboard. Surrounding the ship is Australia’s largest ball pit that is designed to mimic the effect of water. The toddler area also has a large hot air balloon structure, inspired by the Disney movie, Up. The children can imagine flying high in the sky while looking up at the balloon above their heads which is filled with thousands of vibrant coloured blow up balls.

The vibrant colours add enchantment and excitement, and stimulate the bodies and minds of the kids. The floor of the Playcentre is covered by brightly decorated rubber wetpour, Flecks® first rubber wetpour job in Australia.

Flecks® is a fantastic surface for children’s playcentres and high traffic areas as it is  slip-resistant and wheelchair accessible. Flecks® has a low acoustic level, reducing the noise of large groups of children and has excellent resistance to soiling and staining.

It’s easy to clean and remove sticky substances without affecting the surface finish. Flecks® comes in a variety of colours and can be poured in irregular shapes. It does not contain any harmful ingredients that could affect the children and the environment and includes anti-microbials in both urethane binder and rubber granular to prevent bacteria growth. 

From the bright colours, exciting themed “lands”, high safety rating, and innovative design, this playspace is one that ensures every child will play with their imagination.

MUSIC IN AGED CARE

Categories:
} elseif (is_singular('product')) { foreach((get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' )) as $category) { echo ''; echo $category->name; echo " ? "; } } else{ Musical equipment for aged care

Outdoor musical instruments can be used to assist older adults to express themselves, improve cognitive skills, encourage social interactions and provide a fantastic opportunity for going outdoors to enjoy the open air.

Issues of self-awareness and communication skills which connect us all to the world around us become increasingly important to the elderly, whose skills are declining and for whom isolation is increasing.

Loss, illness, depression and the need to restore faith and hope are readily addressed through therapy in music and art.

The benefits of outdoor musical equipment in aged care facilities are second to none, please contact us to find out more.

Remove risk from playgrounds?

An excellent article in this morning’s Age on managing risk in playgrounds

“We know that children doing more risk-taking play have a higher self-confidence … risky play can have an anti-phobic effect. Psychologically it can make you more robust, more resilient,”

“I don’t want to go to the adventure playground any more. Because it’s not an adventure. It’s boring,” says my eldest daughter, who just turned 12.
