Ages 5 to 12

School age equipment, taller and more physically demanding than the 2 to 5 range, with overhead events, higher decks, longer climbing routes and the challenge level that keeps older children using a playground instead of walking past it. This is also where capacity matters most: a structure rated for thirty children does not serve a two hundred child recess, and under-specifying capacity is the single most common mistake in school projects. Every product lists simultaneous child capacity, use zone dimensions, critical fall height, accessible component count against what ADA requires, and lead time.
