Playground Ideas

The Idea

Playground Ideas equips anyone, anywhere to build a stimulating space for play using only local materials, tools and labour or through the purchase of our flat packed Nudel Kart which can be shipped anywhere in the world and assembled on site. Through our open source website and DIY plans, we have supported the building of over 4711 play spaces in 143 countries from Azerbaijan to Zambia, impacting over 2.3 million children. If you have a play space you would like to create, you can start a project on our website which will then give you free access to all our resources, including over 150 different designs with full building instructions, and handbooks on designing, building, safety, loose parts, fundraising and we also have a 3D Designer where, in minutes you can create full 3D professional looking playground site plans. All of our playground elements are designed to use low-cost or recycled materials and simple tools and building expertise. You can visit the "Community Built Projects" page to look through hundreds of examples of playgrounds built using our designs and you can join our Global Builders Facebook page to connect with others and get ideas and support.
